It has been proposed, that unconventional density waves (UDW) are possible candidates for systems with hidden order parameter. Unlike in conventional density waves, no periodic modulation of either the charge-, or the spin-density is present in UDW, in spite of a clear thermodynamic signal. Although the unconventional spin density wave (USDW) has been suggested for the "antiferromagnetic" phase of URu2Si2 , the micromagnetism seen by neutron scattering has not been understood. We present here the calculation of the local spin density due to impurities in USDW, which describes quantitatively the neutron scattering data by Amitsuka et al. Further, we propose that the pseudogap phase in high temperature superconductors (HTSC) should also be USDW. Strong evidence for this are the micromagnetism seen by Sidis et al., and the optical dichroism seen by Campuzano et al.
