We report on the observation of a pseudogap at low temperatures in the heavy fermion compound UPt{sub 3} , together with a renormalized low frequency Drude response. The gap energy, in units of {h_bar}{omega}/k{sub B} , is comparable to the temperature where the magnetic correlations develop, 5K, and the pseudogap progressively disappears above this temperature. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
