The hexagonal compound CeGa2 has been studied by magnetic measurements, neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering experiments using polycrystalline and single crystal samples. The sine wave modulated structure observed at TN = 9.5 K down to 2 K shows that CeGa2 is a new Kondo lattice in w...
