An experiment of X-ray photon–photon elastic scattering with a Laue-case beam collider

We report a search for photon–photon elastic scattering in vacuum in the X-ray region at an energy in the center of mass system of ωcms=6.5keV for which the QED cross section is σQED=2.5×10−47m2. An X-ray beam provided by the SACLA X-ray Free Electron Laser is split and the two beamlets are made to...
