VACUUM BIREFRINGENCE AT X-RAY FREE-ELECTRON LASERS

Vacuum birefringence at x-ray free-electron lasers

We study the perspectives of measuring the phenomenon of vacuum birefringence predicted by quantum electrodynamics using an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) alone.We devise Cake an experimental scheme allowing two consecutive XFEL pulses to collide under a finite angle, and thus act as both pump and probe field for the effect.The signature of vacuu
