Reflection spectra of the x-ray natural linear dichroism (XNLD) were calculated on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and graphene. The π- and σ-excitations stemming from the carbon K-edge are considered. It was computed in the single electron picture within the framework of the standart DFT as the first step. For the better descriptions of the core-hole quasiparticle one can model the Slater transition state employing the supercell calculation with partial hole on one of the carbon atoms with the electron charge distributed over the valence states. Another approach is to solve Bethe-Salpeter equations for the many-body electronic effects. The latter approach clearly identify the excitonic features of π- and σ-excitations HOPG. The spectral shape of the reflectance and XNLD of all three modeles are compared with the experimental data.
