We report on the effect of nearly-hydrostatic pressure P ≤ 23 kbar in an optimally-doped LaFeAsO1−xFx sample. Our results of muon spin rotation show no dependence of Tc on P and, at the same time, a remarkable enhancement of the superfluid density (ns). This is a dramatic effect, the saturation value of ns being increased by ∼ 30 % at the maximum P value. We provide evidence from density-functional theory (DFT) calculations that this increase should not be associated to an induced change in the fermiology of LaFeAsO1−xFx. Accordingly, we suggest that the experimental data can be explained by assuming a modification of the ratio between intra- and inter-band impurity scattering, only possible in multi-band SC.
