Time resolved photo-electron spectroscopy is one of the most powerful techniques to directly investigate the role of the electronic structure in phenomena such as superconductivity, and magnetization dynamics. It greatly benefits from recent developments of high repetition rate Free Electron Lasers (FLASH at DESY Hamburg) and advances in electron detectors such as momentum microscopes. Here we present a time-resolved study carried out at FLASH of the metamagnetic phase transition induced by laser excitation in FeRh with femtosecond resolution. We monitor the changes in the valence band related to the phase transition which at equilibrium takes place at 400 K from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic phase. The dynamics show a sub-picosecond transition of the electronic structure to the FM, pointing to a primary role of the electronic system in triggering the magnetic phase transition. Ab-initio calculation of the non-equilibrium electronic structure show good agreement with the observed phenomena.
