a, M1, M2 and M3 Weyl loops, with trajectories obtained from the analytical model (see main text), showing that M1 links M2 twice and M3 twice. Energy-momentum photoemission cuts along the high-symmetry paths b, X1 − X2 and c, X3 − X1 obtained at photon energy hν = 642 eV. We observe d12 = 0.56 ± 0.1 Å−1 and d31 = 0.61 ± 0.1 Å−1, consistent with Extended Data Fig. 4. For both cuts, exactly one branch of each Weyl cone exhibits appreciable photoemission cross-section, as expected from the mirror-symmetric measurement geometry59. d, Fermi surface acquired at hν = 642 eV, exhibiting an in-plane Weyl loop contour, M1. We further observe spectral weight emanating along kx and ky from the center of M1, corresponding to the linearly dispersive branches in (b, c), again suggesting that M1 is linked by M2 and M3.
