In this paper, we report experimental results on photoemission from copper and silver surfaces. Using the technique of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we demonstrate that, for excess energy around 0.5 eV, the photoelectrons from the Cu(111) and Ag(111) surfaces generated by p-polarized light originate primarily from the well-known surface state with normalized emittance only a fraction of that of the polycrystalline copper cathode presently used in the RF guns. Meanwhile, we demonstrate that the enhancement of the quantum efficiency (QE) at grazing angle is closely related to the surface state as well. Furthermore, we show that the surface state can be easily restored by a simple anneal process, thus pointing to a practical way to reducing the emittance and QE of a metal cathode simultaniously.
