Negative magnetoresistance without well-defined chirality in the Weyl semimetal TaP

Magnetoresistance of topological semimetal shows unusual electron transport behaviour. Here, Arnold et al. demonstrate detailed Fermi surface topology of Weyl semimetal TaP and show that negative longitudinal magnetoresistance shows up without well-defined Weyl fermions.
