Abstract
Effects of a single impurity in the degenerate lattice Anderson model describing heavy elecron systems are investigated rigorously within the framework of the axiliary boson method and the perturbation expansion from the large limit of the spin-orbital degeneracy N (1/ N -expansion). It is found that a non-magnetic impurity leads to the unitarity limit value of the scattering rate of the conduction electrons at low temperature while it has no appreciable effect on the thermodynamic properties. These results are consistent with the experimental observations on the heavy electron systems such as Ce 1- x La x Cu 6 .
