Summary The results of a prelimianry study of the electronic structure of the heavy-fermion system CeCu6 via the two-dimensional angular correlation of electron-positron annihilation radiation (2D ACAR) technique were compared with those obtained for the isostructural reference non-f-electron material LaCu6. The spectra relating to the 2 compounds displayed extremely similar anisotropic structures, with features related to the symmetry of the Brillouin zone. At present, these structures cannot however be attributed to Fermi-surface or positron wave function effects or to anisotropies of some full valence band. In the case of LaCu6, data processing prior to the LCW procedure via new filtering techniques revealed a reasonably good agreement between the LCW data and LAPW Fermi-surface calculations while in the case of CeCu6 it appeared difficult to relate the results, still of controversial interpretation, to any theoretical model.
