Abstract
We report time and angle resolved spectroscopic measurements in optimally doped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. The spectral function is monitored as a function of temperature, photoexcitation density and delay time from the pump pulse. According to our data, the superconducting gap becomes slightly stiffer when moving off the nodal direction. The nodal quasiparticles develop a faster dynamics when pumping the superconductor with a fluence that is large enough to induce the total collapse of the gap. We discuss the observed relaxation in terms of a dynamical reformation of Cooper pairs.
