Abstract

A sharp structure is observed in the single hole spectral function in the normal state of the high temperature superconductors. The single hole spectral function can be measured using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). As a function of the small binding energy on the putative Fermi surface, any structure in the single hole spectral function other than the Fermi cutoff is very broad.
