We report experimental observation of Bardasis-Schrieffer-type s-symmetry c
ollective mode in the d-wave high T-c superconductors. The mode persists ab
ove T-c in the pseudogap phase of the underdoped superconductors - direct s
pectroscopic evidence of the correlations in the particle-particle channel
