A high-Tc copper-oxide superconductor is investigated by means of time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We observe that the transient changes in the spectra occur only below a characteristic kink binding energy, and that the superconducting gap is transiently filled in the momentum region near the gap node. The results indicate that the scattering rate between the quasiparticle-excitations and the boson mode relevant for the kink is transiently increased so that the spectral weight is redistributed near the node and fills the superconducting gap in the nodal region. We also find a phenomenon wherein the efficiency of photoemission is modified when the surface is driven into non-equilibrium. This observation provides insights into the mechanism of photoemission from surface.
