DOIAbstract
An uniaxial pressure cell for low temperature use is described in detail. Then we present data of the electrical resistance of single crystals of Lu5Ir4Si10, which is known to show a charge-density-wave transition around 83 K and to become superconducting near 3.8 K, both phenomena being anticorrelated under pressure. Since the CDW in Lu5Ir4Si10 is a quasi one-dimensional phenomenon because of a chain-like structure, it responds to uniaxial pressure in a specific way
