A general theory of double-electron photoemission (DPE) from solid surfaces is sketched. Guided by the one-step model of single-electron photemission (SPE), DPE can be related closely to SPE if the electronic correlation is approximated by a local but wave-vector-dependent effective one-particle potential. Numerical results for DPE from Cu(001) confirm the expected manifestation of the electronic correlation, in particular the correlation hole.
