Scientific paper

We present differential photometry of the cataclysmic variable star SW
Sextantis. A time series analysis was performed in search of superhumps in the
accretion disk of this star, which is the prototype of a class of cataclysmic
variables, the SW Sex stars. We find no superhumps, which shows that the
presence of superhumps is not a defining feature of the SW Sex stars.
