Excitons - quasiparticles formed by coulomb-bounded electron-hole pairs, plays key role on fundamental optical excitations of 2D semiconductors. For the prototypical 2D semiconductors 1L WS2, a complex excitonic landscape exists, including a significant population of spin- or momentum- dark excitons. This landscape is closely connected with the spin and valley configuration of exciton constituents - electrons and holes [1-3]. While dark excitons are generally invisible to light limited by optical selection rule, time- and angle- resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) has been successfully used to visualize the dark excitons [4-6]. In this talk, we will focus on the momentum resolved study of spin- and momentum-dark excitons in 2D semiconductors by TR-ARPES.
