  CeTe3 is a layered compound where an incommensurate Charge Density Wave (CDW)
opens a large gap (400 meV) in optimally nested regions of the Fermi Surface
(FS), whereas other sections with poorer nesting remain ungapped. Through
Angle-Resolved Photoemission, we identify bands backfolded according to the CDW
periodicity. They define FS pockets formed by the intersection of the original
FS and its CDW replica. Such pockets illustrate very directly the role of
nesting in the CDW formation but they could not be detected so far in a CDW
system. We address the reasons for the weak intensity of the folded bands, by
comparing different foldings coexisting in CeTe3.
