  In materials without spatial inversion symmetry the spin degeneracy of the
conduction electrons can be lifted by an antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling. We
discuss the influence of this spin-orbit coupling on the spin susceptibility of
such superconductors, with a particular emphasis on the recently discovered
heavy Fermion superconductor CePt3Si. We find that, for this compound (with
tetragonal crystal symmetry,) irrespective of the pairing symmetry, the stable
superconducting phases would give a very weak change of the spin susceptibility
for fields along the c-axis and an intermediate reduction for fields in the
basal plane. We also comment on the consequences for the paramagnetic limiting
in this material.
