Abstract
We report measurements of the momentum dependence of die superconducti ng gap in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x with angle-resolved photoemission spectrosco py using a dense sampling of the Brillouin zone in the vicinity of the Fermi surface. In the Y quadrant of the zone, where there are no comp lications from ghost bands caused by the superlattice, we find a gap f unction consistent within error bats to the form cos(k(x))-cos(k(y)) e xpected for a d-wave order parameter. Similar results are found in the X quadrant with the photon polarization chosen to enhance main band e mission over that due to ghost bands.
