URu2Si2 is known for its "hidden-order" state below T0=17.5 K, where the order parameter is still not identified [1]. A magnetic field along the c-axis induces a cascade of low-temperature phase transitions between 35 and 39 T from the "hidden order" to a polarized paramagnetic state. We have performed electrical transport and magnetization measurements in pulsed magnetic fields on ultra clean URu2Si2 samples. We established the H-T-phase diagram for H∥ c in extended scales up to 60 T and 60 K. The vanishing of a high-temperature crossover at around 40-50 K, presumably related to intersite electronic correlations, precedes the polarization of the magnetic moments, as well as the destabilization of the "hidden-order" phase. Strongly sample-quality dependent magnetoresistivity confirms the Fermi surface reconstructions in a high magnetic field along c and at T0 [2,3]. Shubnikov-de Haas quantum oscillations will also be presented.
