Influence of Pressure on Superconductivity in $YB_{6}$

Magnetoresistivity measurements on a superconducting system of $YB_{6}$ ($T_c$ ≈7.5 K) down to 60 mK at hydrostatic pressures up to 47 kbar are presented. The superconducting transition temperature, as well as the third critical field $H_{c3}$ reveal a linear decrease with increasing pressure with slopes of d ln $H_{c3}$/dp=-1.1 %/kbar, and d ln $T_c$/dp=-0.59 %/kbar. From the latter a critical pressure, $p_c$ ≈ 170 kbar, at which $T_c$ vanishes, is determined.
