We present measurements of the Shubnikov-de Haas effect on LuRh2Si2 in conjunction with electronic band structure calculations. These electronic structure investigations can help understand the peculiar temperature dependence of the Hall effect. In addition, LuRh2Si2 represents the non-magnetic reference compound to YbRh2Si2, a prototypical heavy-fermion system featuring an unconventional quantum critical point. In YbRh2Si2, an orbitally selective Mott transition occurs from a large Fermi surface configuration including f electrons to a small configuration with conduction electrons only. LuRh2Si2 resembles the small Fermi surface configuration of YbRh2Si2. We detect oscillations of the resistivity with a large number of frequencies and discuss the angular dependency. We compare the detected orbits with those predicted for the three sheets by band structure calculations and discuss implications for the interpretation of quantum oscillation measurements on YbRh2Si2.
