Topological states of quantum matter have been investigated intensively in recent few years. A combination of superconductivity and topological order is considered to be a potential platform for realizing Majorana fermions. PdTe₂ was classified as a type 2 Dirac semimetal where the Dirac points are located 0.5 eV below the Fermi level. Furthermore, PdTe₂ is a superconductor with T_c below 2K. In order to preserve the Dirac points and lower the Fermi level we substituted up to 50% of Pd with Co. While the magnetoresistance is strongly reduced compared to the pure Pd compound, our Co doped samples still show superconductivity with a T_c of 0.22 K at a Co concentration of 50%. So far however, all evidences still point towards PdCoTe₂ being a conventional superconductor.
