Relating STM, ARPES, and Transport in the Cuprate Superconducting State
  We discuss a wealth of data from various types of experiments which together suggest that the superconducting state of optimally to overdoped BSCCO-2212 can be well-described by the BCS theory with a d-wave gap together with small-angle scattering from out-of-plane defects. These include scanning tunnelling Fourier transform spectroscopy observation of nanoscale inhomogeneity in the local gap edge position, the narrowing of the antinodal ARPES spectrum when BSCCO becomes superconducting, as well as the behavior of the microwave and thermal conductivities. We suggest that the large amount of small-angle scattering in BSCCO can account for the differences between the superconducting properties of BSCCO and YBCO.
