The generation of hot carriers through the internal decay of plasmons in metallic materials has received considerable attention lately, due to its wide range of potential applications [1]. Understanding the differences between photo-induced and plasmon-induced hot electrons is essential for the construction of devices for plasmonic energy conversion. We use a two-color femtosecond pump-probe scheme in time-resolved 2-photon-photoemission (TR-2PPE) to address the population dynamics of excited electrons in metals. We are able to separate the spectroscopic signature of the pure plasmon-induced hot carriers from that of directly photo-excited carriers by following the spatial evolution of photoemitted electrons with energy-resolved Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) during the propagation of a Surface Plasmon Polariton (SPP) along an Au surface. This allows us to study plasmon-induced hot carrier dynamics on the femtosecond and nanometer scale.
