Muon spin rotation/relaxation (SR) and polar Kerr effect measurements provide evidence for a time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) superconducting state in SrRuO. However, the absence of a cusp in the superconducting transition temperature () vs. stress and the absence of a resolvable specific heat anomaly at TRSB transition temperature () under uniaxial stress challenge a hypothesis of TRSB superconductivity. Recent SR studies under pressure and with disorder indicate that the splitting between and occurs only when the structural tetragonal symmetry is broken. To further test such behavior, we measured through susceptibility measurements, and through SR, under uniaxial stress applied along a lattice direction. We have obtained preliminary evidence for suppression of below , at a rate much higher than the suppression rate of .
