Among many interesting features of UTe₂, one of the most striking is its highly anisotropic response to applied magnetic fields. For fields near the crystallographic b axis, a field-reentrant superconducting phase arises and then is cut off at a metamagnetic transition, H_m. Above H_m, superconductivity exists only when the field is tilted roughly 20° away from the b axis in any direction. Such a ring of superconductivity with respect to magnetic field angle has not been observed in other materials and its origin is not yet understood.

Given that this superconducting phase appears above H_m, it is natural to look for a connection between superconductivity and the magnetic state of the material. I will present experimental results on the change in magnetization of UTe₂ through H_m as a function of field angle and compare these to the field-angular range of high-field superconductivity. While there are associations in part of the phase diagram, it is clear that there is not a simple connection between the field-angle range of superconductivity and the magnetization of UTe₂ at high fields.
