The layered perovskite Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$ continues to attract interest as a model system of a multiband Fermi liquid. Previous dHvA and ARPES studies successfully determined its Fermi surface [1, 2] and reported a large and sheet dependent renormalization of the Fermi velocity due to electron-electron interactions with v$_{band}$/v$_{F}$ ranging from $\approx$ 3 for the d$_{xz/yz}$ derived $\alpha$ and $\beta$ sheets to $\approx$ 5.5 for the $\gamma$ sheet with dominant dxy orbital character [1, 3]. Here, we report new high-resolution ARPES data revealing an additional strong momentum dependence of the renormalization within a single Fermi surface sheet. This effect is most pronounced in the $\gamma$ band and is larger than expected from the mixing of the orbital composition along individual Fermi surface sheets induced by spin-orbit coupling [4,5]. Our observations therefore provide evidence for a genuinely momentum dependent self-energy in the vicinity of a van Hove singularity. [1] C. Bergemann et al., Advances in Physics 52, 639 (2003)[2] A.
