abstract = {X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy
provides element specificity and is a powerful experimental
method to probe local unoccupied electronic structures. In
the soft x-ray regime, it is especially well suited for the
study of 3d-metals and light elements such as nitrogen.
Recent developments in vacuum-compatible liquid flat jets
have facilitated soft x-ray transmission spectroscopy on
molecules in solution, providing information on valence
charge distributions of hetero atoms and metal centers.
Here, we demonstrate XANES spectroscopy of molecules in
solution at the nitrogen K-edge, performed at FLASH, the
Free-Electron Laser (FEL) in Hamburg. A split-beam
referencing scheme optimally characterizes the strong
shot-to-shot fluctuations intrinsic to the process of
self-amplified spontaneous emission on which most FELs are
based. Due to this normalization, a sensitivity of $1\%$
relative transmission change is achieved, limited by
fundamental photon shot noise. The effective FEL bandwidth
is increased by streaking the electron energy over the FEL
pulse train to measure a wider spectral window without
changing FEL parameters. We propose modifications to the
experimental setup with the potential of improving the
instrument sensitivity by two orders of magnitude, thereby
exploiting the high peak fluence of FELs to enable
unprecedented sensitivity for femtosecond XANES spectroscopy
on liquids in the soft x-ray spectral region.},
