Dear Carlo and Lorenzo,
Many thanks for sharing your feedback. I agree, the only option is to remeasure
the system.
Best regards
Jatin

Hi Rana:
I agree. The data is basically unusable as it is. You clearly have
issues in the background (look at the oscillations in the pre-edge area)
and the three data sets are different from each other which is another
clue.
It looks like you have transmission data with a very samll edge jump
(0.09) which is sort of marginal for XANES much less EXAFS at 5BM). In
addition, your sample probably has pinholes and is not uniform. You
should be taking this data in fluorescence with such a small amount of
sample unless you have an absolutely uniform sample.
