We report on the generation of High Harmonic radiation in the photon energy range up to 100 eV with up to 10 kHz repetition rate, based on the conversion of femtosecond Ti:sapphire radiation in rare gases. The fundamental laser is based on a single stage, multiple pass ampli-fication of a cavity-dumped oscillator. Output pulse energies of 1 mJ and pulse durations of les than 30 fs at adjustable repetition rates up to 10 kHz are achieved. The generated High Harmonics are separated by a toroidal grating and directed to the surface. A time-of-flight detector with multiple anodes registers the kinetic energies of emitted photoelectrons. The angular distributions of photoelectrons emitted form CO/Pt(111) under s-polarized excitations have been measured for a variety of initial photon energies. Different from gas phase results a significant intensity of photoelectrons are emitted also in the normal direction, i.e., in the direction of the C - O chemical bond. A first theoretical investigation supports qualitatively the observed angular distributions.
