“…In addition to these nonlinear QED contexts, searches for vacuum processes concern a wider range of research fields, including astrophysics and particle physics. For instance, a practical effect of VMB has been suggested by the recent observation of a strongly magnetized neutron star [12][13][14]. Furthermore, the vacuum process may be easily affected by the contribution of new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) [15].…”

“…Recent astronomical observations hint at the existence of vacuum birefringence [25] (see also the remarks in [26,27]). However, a direct laboratory-based verification of this fundamental property of the vacuum is still missing.…”

“…1 (right) for the BB case. This is a clear indication that QED effects play a crucial role in setting the actual value of the polarisation degree, see also discussion in [20]. Therefore, this is the first, indirect though, observational evidence of the phenomenon of vacuum birefringence, as predicted by QED over 80 years ago [7].…”
