Title: Role of matrix elements in the time-resolved photoemission signal

Abstract

Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) provides access to the ultrafast evolution of electrons andmany-body interactions in solid-state systems. However, themomentum- and energy-resolved transient photoemission intensitymay not be unambiguously described by the intrinsic relaxation dynamics of photoexcited electrons alone.The interpretation of the time-dependent photoemission signal can be affected by the transient evolution of the electronic distribution, and both the one-electron removal spectral function aswell as the photoemissionmatrix elements. Here we investigate the topological insulator Bi1.1Sb0.9Te2S to demonstrate, bymeans of a detailed probe-polarization dependent study, the transient contribution ofmatrix elements toTR-ARPES.
