Among heavy-fermion metals, Ce3Pd20Si6 is one of the heaviest-electron systems known to date. Using high-resolution neutron spectroscopy, we observed low-energy magnetic scattering from a single crystal of this compound in the paramagnetic state. We investigated its temperature dependence and distribution in Q space. At low temperatures, a quasielastic magnetic response persists with varying intensity all over the Brillouin zone. It forms a broad hump centered at the (111) scattering vector, surrounded by minima of intensity at (002), (220) and equivalent wave vectors. The Q-space structure distinguishes this signal from a simple crystal-field excitation and rather lets us ascribe it to short-range dynamical correlations between the neighboring Ce ions, mediated by the itinerant heavy f-electrons via the RKKY mechanism. Upon heating, the energy width of the signal follows the conventional T1/2 law, Γ(T)=Γ0+AT. The Q-space symmetry of the quasielastic response suggests that it stems from the simple-cubic Ce sublattice occupying the 8c Wyckoff site, whereas the inequivalent 4a site remains magnetically silent.
