Abstract: The non-linear photoelectron spectra obtained by short laser pulses from a Ag(100) surface show a high-energy electron emission due to an athermal electron distribution created by the laser pulse. By comparing the photoemission at normal and non-normal emission geometry it is possible to evidence the independence of the hot electron photoemission on the parallel momentum and on different final-state configurations. A photoemission correlation measurement evidences that non-photoelectric effects, as tunneling or thermally assisted photoemission, do not contribute to the electron yield. Various theoretical models are discussed on the basis of the present data. Copyright EDP Sciences/Società Italiana di Fisica/Springer-Verlag 2006
