Magnetoreresistance of PrOs4Sb12: Search for the evidence of heavy fermion behavior

Electrical resistivity of PrOs4Sb12 was measured at temperatures down to 20 mK and in fields to 18 T. The resistivity is dominated by low-energy crystalline electric-field effects. Our analysis of the resistivity in magnetic fields provides a support for the heavy fermion state.
