The understanding of the photoexcited electron-electron and electron-phonon thermalization dynamics in simple metals and their relation to the inter-subsystem (electron-phonon) coupling strength presents a foundation for similar studies in advanced quantum matter. However, despite the three decades of ongoing research, the understanding is still elusive. Here, we present the first time-, energy-, and momentum resolved photoemission studies of carrier dynamics in Cu (100) single crystal. We used a time of flight momentum microscope with the FEL (FLASH at DESY) as a source (55 eV, <100 fs) to track the changes in the electronic distribution function following photoexcitation with <100 fs NIR pulses from a synced high-repetition rate Ti:Sa amplifier. We demonstrate that the intra-band photoexcitation with an s-polarized light results in changes in the electronic distribution function, which is strongly momentum-dependent. Surprisingly, the momentum anisotropy is observed throughout the electron thermalization process.
