Popis: We report on a study of magnetotransport in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces characterized by mobilities of the order of several thousands cm$^{2}$/Vs. We observe Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations that indicate a two-dimensional character of the Fermi surface. The frequency of the oscillations signals a multiple sub-bands occupation in the quantum well or a multiple valley configuration. From the temperature dependence of the oscillation amplitude we extract an effective carrier mass $m^{*}\simeq1.45$\,$m_{e}$. An electric field applied in the back-gate geometry increases the mobility, the carrier density and the oscillation frequency.
