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 an experimental scheme allowing two consecutive XFEL pulses to collide under a finite angle, and GIFT-SET thus act as both pump and probe field for the effect.The signature of v

The prevalence, incidence and prevention of Plasmodium falciparum infections in forest rangers in Bu Gia Map National Park, Binh Phuoc province, Vietnam: a pilot study

Abstract Background Prophylaxis for high-risk populations, such as forest workers, could be one component for malaria elimination in the Greater Mekong Sub-region.A study was conducted to assess the malaria incidence in forest rangers and the feasibility of malaria prophylaxis for rangers sleeping in forest camps.Methods Forest rangers deployed in
