Hi Tien:

The transmission data is always sloping down because the absorption coefficient, which is being measured in absolute terms by transmission, varies as E^-3 except where there is an edge jump.  Therefore you should see that downward slope in transmission if you have measured it correctly.

The fluorescence measurement is not giving you the absolute absorption but something which should be proportional to it.  the slope of that baseline very much depends on the details of the sample and the detector.

the plot from researchgate is transmission data, your data is fluorescence;

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the response. I am confusing about the two plots. Could you please explain more about the difference?

the higher the energy, the larger is the penetration depth —

Hi everyone,
My colleague sent me data of liquid CsNO3 sample measured using fluorescence model. According to the attached figure, I don't understand why mu(E) increased with increasing energy before and after the L3 edge. Does it make sense for cesium?  Thanks.
