Summary: | We synthesize high-quality single crystal of CeGaSi by a Ga self-flux method and investigate its physical properties through magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and electrical resistivity measurements as well as high pressure effect. Magnetic measurements reveal that an antiferromagnetic order develops below
