Abstract

We measure the momentm dependence of the superconducting gap along the Fermi surface of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 by high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The gap is large in the vicinity of the M¯ point (where γ- M¯ is along the Cu-O bond), and small along the γ- X and γ- Y(π,π) directions. However, the gap is not zero along these directions, but, within our accuracy, becomes zero about 10∘ on either side of the (π,π) directions. We discuss the implications of these results for the symmetry of the order parameter.
