Abstract
We report results of the magnetoresistance measurements of ${\beta ''}$-(ET)(TCNQ) under a pressure of 7 kbar. The resistance is found to show a large peak at 37 K suggesting some phase transition. When the field applied perpendicular to the conducting layers, a resistance hump appears at 12 K. The Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation with a high frequency of 4183 T is observed below 1 K, whose cross sectional area corresponds to about 30% of the first Brillouin zone. The effective mass is estimated to be 4.5 m0. These results, which are quite different from the ambient e data, show a drastic change of the electronic state under 7 kbar.

Key words. ${\beta ''}$-(ET)(TCNQ), Fermi surface, magnetic field, pressure, magnetoresistance.
