Strongly anisotropic systems, like, e.g., metallic nanowire arrays grown on semiconducting surfaces, are expected to exhibit significantly different electronic dispersion - along and perpendicular to the wire structure. Angle-resolved photoemission is an excellent tool to study electronic band dispersion, but is often limited to (i) one momentum direction in a single measurement and (ii) the occupied electronic structure. Here, we report on femtosecond-laser based two-photon photoemission experiments on Pb/Si(557) nanowires that map the unoccupied electronic structure. Using a position-sensitive time-of flight spectrometer [1], the dispersion along and perpendicular to the wires can be analyzed simultaneously in a single measurement. Furthermore, by delaying two light pulses with respect to each other, the lifetimes of these unoccupied electronic states can be measured in a pump-probe experiment. We present first time- and momentum-resolved studies on the unoccupied states in this system. We gratefully acknowledge funding by the DFG through FOR1700.
