Abstract
In an experiment combining a state-of-the-art visible laser system with the vacuum ultraviolet beamline I411 at the storage ring MAX II, shakedown satellite lines in the photoelectron emission of excited Na atoms have been observed. A close investigation of these lines shows a strong dependency of the line intensities from the linear polarization angle of the laser light. The shakedown electrons are preferably emitted into the direction of the laser electric field vector.
