Photoemission spectra from HTSC materials ( primarily 123 -type ), cleaved and measured at 20K, reveal a rich DOS structure which compares favorably with a calculated band structure, except for a residual 0.5 eV shift which may reflect some correlation effects. Band dispersion is observed throughout the valence bands, with clear evidence for a 0.2 eV wide band dispersing through EF. The orbital character at EF is a mix of Cu-3d and O-2p. There is unambiguous evidence for a large BCS-like gap (2Δ≥ 4kTc).
