To date, the structure of the Fermi surfaces of the heavy-fermion superconductor UTe2 is strongly debated [1]. We performed angle-dependent magnetic-torque and magnetotransport measurements on high-quality UTe2 single crystals with Tc = 2 K. We observe quantum oscillations starting at about 15 T. The de Haas-van Alphen frequencies show very good agreement with previous reports [2, 3]. We compare our results to band-structure calculations performed with the full potential-local orbital code. The hysteretic response of magnetic torque in the superconducting phase and the transition in magnetoresistance provided further details about the anisotropic H-T phase diagram of UTe2.
