Abstract
AC-susceptibility measurements on the singlet-ground state system Cs3Cr2Br9 are extended to very low temperatures (46 mK) and high applied magnetic fields (12 T). The resulting phase diagram is shown to exhibit features at variance with recent soft-mode and molecular-field models for this system.
