The Hall effect has been studied for antiferromagnet U2PdGa3. In the paramagnetic state, the Hall data can be interpreted in terms of skew scattering theory for heavy-fermion systems. We observe a large contribution of anomalous Hall coefficient, indicating a dominated contribution of incoherent skew scattering by uranium 5f moments. Interesting behaviour of the RH(T) dependence is found at low temperatures. The RH(T) curve displays a plateau between T* = 12 and TN = 33 K, followed by a shoulder with further decreasing temperature. The appearance of the anomaly around T* suggests the existence of a new scattering mechanism, in addition to well known skew and jump-side scatterings. We compare the Hall data of U2PdGa3 with those observed for strongly correlated electron systems and with those of spin-glasses. Like the latter systems, non-zero spin chirality seems to play a considerable role in the anomalous Hall effect of U2PdGa3.
