Abstract μSR studies on REAl2 type compounds have so far given rather inconclusive results since no μSR frequency has been observed in the ordered magnetic states. Therefore, the results from the paramagnetic region [1,2] have been interpreted without detailed knowledge of the muon site or the mobility of the muons. In the present study of a single crystal sample of CeAl2 we investigated in some detail the paramagnetic temperature range including the transition region to magnetic ordering around 3.6 K. The ordered magnetic state is antiferromagnetic with a modulated structure [3], and the absence of a spontaneous μSR precession signal belowT N is therefore not unexpected.
