However, to construct such a theory, one must know the symmetries of the order parameter, i.e. the symmetry of the ordered state. -One quintessential case where the symmetry of an ordered phase remains unknown is in \urusi. +A paradigmatic example where the symmetry of an ordered phase remains unknown is in \urusi. \urusi is a heavy fermion superconductor in which superconductivity condenses out of a symmetry broken state referred to as hidden order (HO) [cite pd paper], and at sufficiently large [hydrostatic?] pressures, both give way to local moment antiferromagnetism. -Despite over thirty years of effort, the symmetry of the hidden order state remains unknown, and -modern theories [big citation chunk] propose a variety of possibilities. +Despite over thirty years of effort, the symmetry of the hidden order state remains unknown, and modern theories +\cite{kambe:pr2018a, haule:np2009a, kusunose:jpsj2011a, kung:s2015a,cricchio:prl2009a,ohkawa:jpcm1999a,santini:prl1994a,kiss:ap2004a,harima:jpsj2010a,thalmeier:pr2011a,tonegawa:prl2012a,rau:pr2012a,riggs:nc2015a,hoshino:jpsj2013a,ikeda:prl1998a,chandra:n2013a,harrison:apa2019a,ikeda:np2012a} +propose a variety of possibilities.

RUS is an experimental technique that measures mechanical resonances of a sample. These resonances contain information about the full elastic tensor of the material. Moreover, the frequency locations of the resonances are sensitive to symmetry breaking at an electronic -phase transition due to electron-phonon coupling [cite]. Ref.

Ref.~\cite{ghosh:apa2019a} uses this information to place strict thermodynamic bounds on the symmetry of the HO OP, again, independent of any microscopic model. Motivated by these results, in this paper we consider a mean field theory of an OP coupled to strain and the effect that the OP symmetry has on the elastic response in different symmetry channels. Our study finds that a single possible OP symmetry reproduces the experimental strain susceptibilities, and fits the experimental data well. +We first present a phenomenological Landau-Ginzburg mean field theory of strain coupled to an +order parameter.
