Abstract
We demonstrate that recent angle resolved photoemission data in bilayer cuprate superconductors imply that scattering of electrons between bonding and antibonding bands is strong compared to scattering within these bands. As a consequence, the resulting data can be reproduced only by a model which assumes that the electrons are interacting with a bosonic mode that is odd with respect to the layer indices. This odd symmetry is a unique property of the magnetic resonance observed by inelastic neutron scattering.
