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 2p 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.
