Abstract
We construct a two component Ginzburg-Landau theory with coherent pair motion and incoherent quasiparticles for the phase diagram of . The two staggered superconducting states live at the Brillouin zone center and the zone boundary and coexist for temperatures at concentrations . We predict below the appearance of a charge density wave (CDW) and Be-sublattice distortion. The distortion explains the muon spin relaxation anomaly; Th-impurity mediated scattering of ultrasound to CDW fluctuations explains the attenuation peak.
