Abstract
The Josephson between a Ta-wire probe and an induced, surface, singlet, superconducting state in U decreases with decreasing temperature below the bulk U , in contrast to the increase seen in comparison Mo samples. This shows that the bulk U superconductivity suppresses the induced singlet superconductivity. Such suppression is evidence of a triplet super-conducting state in U. Evidence is presented for phase slip between weakly coupled singlet and triplet order parameters.
