a Sixfold symmetrized FT of L(r,V) = (dI/dV)/(I/V) map at 14 mV. Orange circles enclose lattice Bragg peaks QBragg. The main scattering wave vectors are circled in green (q1). Constant energy contour schematic of Fermi arc dispersion with (b) large and (c) small Fermi arcs originating from pairs of Weyl nodes around each K point (red and blue circles in c), and d, e corresponding auto-correlations. f, g Experimental L(r,V) maps at 16 mV and 11 mV, respectively, showing the scattering signature qualitatively consistent with those in (d, e). h Comparison of L(r,V) maps at zero field (top row) and 3 T (bottom row). i Radially averaged linecuts of FTs of L(r,V) maps, starting at (QBragg,1 + QBragg,2)/3, focusing on the reciprocal space region denoted by the green circle in (a), at 0 T (left), 3 T (middle) and their difference (right). STM setup conditions: Iset = 280 pA, Vsample = 35 mV, Vexc = 1 mV.
