We analyze the doping and temperature dependence of the quasi-particle
excitation spectrum of the 2D one hand Hubbard model in the normal an
d superconducting state using the fluctuation exchange approximation.
It is shown that above T-c shadow stales resulting form short-range an
tiferromagnetic correlations occur with small but finite excitation en
ergies which decrease for decreasing doping, reflecting as dynamically
broken symmetry with increasing lifetime. Simultaneously, the intensi
ty of these new states increases, the quasi-particle dispersion is str
ongly flattened, and a pseudogap in the density of states occurs. With
in the superconducting state, we find that the gap function Delta(k) h
as d(x2-y2) is symmetry. Furthermore, our results for the spectral den
sity explain the dip structures found in photoemission and tunneling e
xperiments. These fine structures result from an enhancement of the sc
attering rate of shadow states slightly above the superconducting gap.
