We report measurements under pressure of the upper critical field of the heavy fermion superconductor UBe 13. An interpretation in the framework of a simple strong coupling model is achieved consistently with only one arbitrary parameter: the strong coupling constant λ. We find that UBe 13 is in an extreme strong coupling regime and that the variation of λ with pressure explains the pressure dependence of the thermodynamic properties of both the normal and the superconducting phases. It reveals a strong interplay between the mass renormalization and the pairing mechanisms, yielding the first quantitative indication of a nonphonon mediated pairing in a superconductor.
