New measurements on the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 are interpreted and found to be in quantitative agreement with a theory for electronic Raman scattering in superconductors with dx2-y2 pairing symmetry. The theory explains in a natural way, why the shape of the scattering intensity, as well as its change with temperature can be polarization (symmetry) dependent and hence resolves a controversy in previous interpretations of data on the electronic Raman effect.
