The di®usivity ratio ´, which measures the relative intraband scattering in the ¼ and ¾ bands in MgB2 has been determined by ¯tting the Hc2(T) at T » Tc and by Point Contact Andreev Re°ection. We ¯nd a satisfactory agreement between the values for ´ obtained by both methods for c-axis orientated Mg...
