18. It is worth mentioning that the 3D reconstruction of the FS can also be attained by Compton scattering experiments. See, for example, I. Matsumoto, H. Kawata, and N. Shiotani, Phys. Rev. B 64, 195132 (2001). However, the double integration of the momentum density and the complex samples preparation, makes a 3D reconstruction a quite complicated task. Furthermore, nowadays also the angular resolved photoemission (ARPES) technique provides relevant information on the topology of the FS. Nevertheless, even solving the difficult problem of determining the Bloch wave vector perpendicular to the sample surface, k⊥, ARPES can only measure the electronic occupancy in spherical shells of the BZ, as described by D. Ehm, F. Reinert, G. Nicolay, S. Schmidt, S. Huefner, R. Claessen, V. Eyert, and C. Geibel, Phys. Rev. B 64, 235104 (2001). In practice, ARPES experiments are very effective when applied to quasi-2D systems.

36. The lower statistical noise of Cormack's method is due to the expansion of the experimental data into orthogonal polynomials.

38. Obviously, our deconvolution routine cannot tackle fully this problem. Indeed, a particularly severe obstacle for any deconvolution algorithm exists when the original (true) data contain first order discontinuities, such as the Fermi breakes, characterized (intrinsically) by low numerical entropy.
