UTe2 is a strong candidate for spin-triplet superconductivity; however, to fully understand its superconducting properties a more complete understanding of its general electronic structure is needed. Here, the authors perform two types of X-ray spectroscopy to investigate the 5 f electronic states of the uranium atom, finding unusual features for the pressure dependence of the 5 f electron count.
