Abstract
We find strong polarization effects in the angular-resolved energy distribution of photoelectrons emitted from a Cu(111) surface using plane polarized light at normal incidence with eV. This polarization dependence reveals the symmetry and vector of the states involved, in particular for excitation from states. The spectra can be interpreted assuming direct transitions between bulk states and subsequent elastic emission. No evidence for many-body effects or modification of the states at the surface is observed.
