Abstract
By considering negative surgeries on a knot in , we derive a lower bound to the non-orientable slice genus in terms of the signature and the concordance invariants , which strengthens a previous bound given by Batson, and which coincides with Ozsv\'ath-Stipsicz-Szab\'o's bound in terms of their invariant for L-space knots and quasi-alternating knots. A curious feature of our bound is superadditivity, implying, for instance, that the bound on the stable non-orientable genus is sometimes better than the one on .
