de Haas -van Alphen measurements in Ce x La 12x B 6 intermetallics reveal the existence of long-lived quasiparticles for all 0 , x , 1. This is accompanied by the enhancement of the field-dependent effective mass, together with changes to the topology of the Fermi surface developing very early in the series, and with the effective mass eventually exhibiting a maximum near x ϳ 0.9. One of the spin contributions to the signal is also observed to disappear at very low x, indicating a spin
