Abstract
Novel spectral features and new information regarding core-excitation processes are revealed in the photoabsorption and photoemission experiments performed with a newly constructed synchrotron radiation beamline. This beamline, dubbed Dragon, has an unprecendented resolving power and superior transmission in the soft x-ray region. Several experimental results on gas phase, solid and biological systems are presented to exemplify the scientific applications of high resolution soft x-ray spectrocopies. The possible application of photoabsorption spectroscopy as a tool for chemical analysis is also discussed and a few examples are given.
