This work is devoted to one of the sections of nanoplasmonics - photoemission from metal nanoparticles. The photoemission cross-section spectra were calculated for the case of the surface photoelectric effect of nanoparticles in the shape of a truncated cone. For a nanoparticle in the shape of a sphere, a formula is derived for calculating the collisional broadening of the plasmon resonance peaks. This formula also solves the problem of calculating the photoemission cross section for the case of the surface photoelectric effect.
