What is the difference between Soft X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Hard X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy?

The 'soft' and 'hard' refer to the energy of the x-rays used to perform the spectroscopy. Hard x-rays are higher energy x-rays than soft x-rays. Where to draw the line for when an x-ray stops being 'hard' and becomes 'soft' is rather arbitrary but most people would agree I think that x-rays of energy ~ 1500 eV and less are 'soft' x-rays and above ~ 2500 eV are 'hard' x-rays.
