Fermi surface reconstructions and topological (Lifshitz) transitions can have a profound effect on the electronic ground state of a metal. For example, re-entrant superconductivity (SC) in URhGe may be due to the appearance of a small pocket [1], whereas in Bechgaard salts [2] and doped BaFe2As2 [3] the appearance of large pockets from mismatched nesting may give rise to SC within the magnetic phase.
Here, we report quantum oscillation measurements and DFT calculations under pressure in the prototypical charge density wave (CDW) compound TiSe2. We observe the emergence of new Fermi surface pockets at 2 GPa within the CDW arising as a result of mismatched nesting. This Lifshitz transition coincides with the emergence of superconductivity [4], suggesting an intimate link between SC and the presence of these Fermi pockets similar to BaFe2As2. This suggests that SC in TiSe2 might be of extended s±-wave character - the first such case in a CDW system.
