| contents | Scattering between individual charges and collective modes in materials governs fundamental phenomena such as electrical resistance, energy dissipation, switching between different phases, and ordering. The study of such scattering requires a simultaneous access to the ultrafast momentum-resolved dynamics of single-particle and collective excitations, which remains as an experimental challenge. Here, we demonstrate time- and momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy, and apply it to graphite showing that large ($Δq\simeq$1.2~Å$^{-1}$) photoexcited electron-hole (e-h) pockets in the band structure induce a renormalization of the collective in-plane and bulk plasmons that can be described quantitatively by invoking intra- and inter-valley scattering processes mediated by $E_{2g}$ and $A_{1}'$ phonon modes, which we directly observe by ultrafast electron diffraction and identify via ab initio calculations. Conversely, the photoexcitation of smaller e-h pockets ($Δq\simeq$0.7~Å$^{-1}$) close to the K point of graphite results in the renormalization of in-plane plasmons, which can only be partially explained by phonon-mediated scattering and thermal expansion. Our results show the importance of combining momentum- and time-resolved information to elucidate microscopic details associated with electronic scattering processes. |
