Tunable quantum materials hold great potential for applications. Of special interest are materials in which small lattice strain induces giant electronic responses. The kagome compounds AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) provide a testbed for electronic tunable states. In this study, through angle-resolved photo- emission spectroscopy, we provide comprehensive spectroscopic measure- ments of the electronic responses induced by compressive and tensile strains on the charge-density-wave (CDW) and van Hove singularity (VHS) in CsV3Sb5. We observe a tripling of the CDW gap magnitudes with ~ 1% strain. Simulta- neously, changes of both energy and mass of the VHS are observed. Combined, this reveals an anticorrelation between the unconventional CDW order para- meter and the mass of the VHS, and highlight the role of the latter in the superconducting pairing. The substantial electronic responses uncover a rich strain tunability of the versatile kagome system in studying quantum inter- plays under lattice variations.
