We study the Kondo lattice model with an additional attractive interaction among the conduction-band electrons by means of dynamical mean-field theory in combination with the numerical renormalization group method. In the normal phase we observe a strong dependency of the low-energy scale on the attractive interaction. Thus, there exists a delicate interplay between the attractive interaction and the antiferromagnetic Kondo exchange, which results in a critical interaction, above of which the Fermi surface collapses because the spins become effectively decoupled from the conduction electrons. Additionally, we allow for a s-wave superconducting phase, which appears to be split at the point of the underlying Fermi surface collapse. We discuss the interplay between attractive interaction an Kondo exchange and its pertinence to phonons in heavy fermion physics.
