We investigate plasmon assisted photoemission from individual Au nanorods using a time-of-flight momentum resolving photoemission electron microscope (ToF k-PEEM). The Au nanorods are taylored to obtain a localized plasmon polartion resonance wavelength of 800 nm with a linewidth of just 44 nm. The Au nanorods adhere to a transparent In-Sn oxide substrate enabling illumination from the rear side at normal incidence. The two momentum components parallel to the surface and the kinetic energy of the electrons are measured simultaneously. Both properties depend on laser power and polarization confirming a plasmon assisted emission process mediated by the optical field enhancement at the nanorod's ends. The exponential intensity decrease of emitted electrons with increasing kinetic energy reveals the distribution of hot electrons leading to an additional emission process with a characteristic homogeneous momentum distribution.
