Abstract
We report magnetotransport measurements in the quasi one dimensional (Q-1-D) organic conductor (TMTTF) ₂Br at pressures up to 26 kbar, clown to 0.45 K in magnetic fields up to 19 T along the direction. It is found that a superconducting ground state is stabilized under 26 kbar at  K. No magnetic field induced spin density wave (FISDW) transitions are observed below 19T unlike other Q-1-D superconductors pertaining to the selenium series. The computed amplitude of the interchain coupling along transverse directions is unable to explain the missing; FISDW instability.
