17. The symmetrized EDC of the middle FS show a peak also at φ = 52°. However, for this FS angle the fitting gave a small but finite SC-gap size.

21. When the SC-gap size is much smaller than the broadening width of the Fermi-Dirac (FD) function, the symmetrized EDC can be a peak-like line shape at EF.

24. We have confirmed that even if we try fitting including a higher-order modulation such as cos(16φ), the position of the nodal points is almost unaffected.

30. F should be broader for azimuth angle = 45°. However, the MDC width of the middle FS at EF is not so different between that for azimuth angle = 0° and for azimuth angle = 45°, thus confirming that our ARPES results using 7-eV photons shoud trace the ragion very close to the Z point.
31. z value of the observed photoelectrons should be integrated within 10 to 20% of the whole BZ region, considering that the escape depth of photoelectrons for 7-eV laser is ∼30 to 70 A°, whereas the unit cell length along the c axis is ∼14 A°.
32. We have confirmed that SD of the SC-gap value obtained through least-square fitting is below 1 μeV by assuming that the detected counts of photoelectrons obey Poisson distribution.
