We present the evolution of the electronic structure of CrSBr from it’s antiferromagnetic ground state to the paramagnetic phase above TN = 132 K, in both experiment and theory. The ground state angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) results, obtained using a novel method to overcome sample charging issues, are very well reproduced by our QSGW calculations including Bethe-Salpeter Equations (BSE) self-consistently. By tracing band positions as a function of temperature, we identify certain bands at the X points to be exchange-split pairs of states with mainly Br and S character, with the splitting disappearing above TN. Our results lay firm foundations for the interpretation of the many other intriguing physical and optical properties of CrSBr.
