Abstract

Higgs oscillations in nonequilibrium superconductors provide a unique tool to obtain information about the underlying order parameter. Several properties like the absolute value, existence of multiple gaps, and the symmetry of the order parameter can be encoded in the Higgs oscillation spectrum. Studying Higgs oscillations with time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has the advantage over optical measurements that a momentum-resolved analysis of the condensate dynamic is possible. In this paper, we investigate the time-resolved spectral function measured in ARPES for different quench protocols. We find that analyzing amplitude oscillations of the ARPES intensity in the whole Brillouin zone allows to understand how the condensate dynamic contributes to the emerging of collective Higgs oscillations. Furthermore, by evaluating the phase of these oscillations, the symmetry deformation dynamic of the condensate can be revealed, which gives insight about the ground state symmetry of the system. With such an analysis, time-resolved ARPES experiments might be used in the future as a powerful tool in the field of Higgs spectroscopy.
