Here, the neutron spin resonance is a collective magnetic excitation that appears in copper oxide, iron pnictide, and heavy fermion unconventional superconductors. Although the resonance is commonly associated with a spin-exciton due to the d(s±)-wave symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, it has also been proposed to be a magnon-like excitation appearing in the superconducting state. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to demonstrate that the resonance in the heavy fermion superconductor Ce1–xYbxCoIn5 with x=0,0.05,0.3 has a ring-like upward dispersion that is robust against Yb-doping. By comparing our experimental data with random phase approximation calculation using the electronic structure and the momentum dependence of the dx2–y2-wave superconducting gap determined from scanning tunneling microscopy for CeCoIn5, we conclude the robust upward dispersing resonance mode in Ce1–xYbxCoIn5 is inconsistent with the downward dispersion predicted within the spin-exciton scenari
