We have studied the behavior of Dirac fermions in the presence of strong electron correlation in nonsymmorphic Kondo lattice systems, CeTX2 (T=Cu/Ag, X-As/Sb) employing high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy [1]. Experiments reveal crossings of highly dispersive linear bands at the Brillouin zone boundary protected by non-symmorphic symmetry [2]. In addition, anisotropic Dirac cones are observed constituted by the square net Sb(As) 5p(4p) states forming a diamond-shaped nodal line. The Dirac bands are linear in a wide energy range with an unusually high slope and exhibit distinct Dirac points in these highly spin-orbit coupled systems. Along with these bulk crossings, CeCuAs2 also exhibits a surface Dirac crossing at the Γ-point. These results seed the emergence of an area of robust topological fermions even in the presence of strong correlation. [1] S. Datta et al. arXiv:2311.05278 [2] L. M. Schoop et al., Nat.
