Abstract
The effect of the electron density profile at the surface of a metal on the surface-plasma modes is studied within the framework of a hydrodynamic model. For a sufficiently diffuse surface, higher multipole excitations can exist in addition to the usual surface plasmon. The frequency of both kinds of modes is studied in the long-wavelength limit.
