The magnetic transition temperature of an antiferromagnet CeIrSi decreases with increasing hydrostatic pressure, and finally superconductivity appears. An exotic superconducting symmetry is expected because of the absence of the inversion center in the crystal structure. One of the prominent features is the anomalously large upper critical field observed around the quantum critical point.
