  We show that the results of photoemission and inverse photoemission
experiments on bulk copper can be quantitatively described within
band-structure theory, with no evidence of effects beyond the
single-quasiparticle approximation. The well known discrepancies between the
experimental bandstructure and the Kohn-Sham eigenvalues of Density Functional
Theory are almost completely corrected by self-energy effects.
Exchange-correlation contributions to the self-energy arising from 3s and 3p
core levels are shown to be crucial.
