Abstract
An "x-ray flashbulb" experiment for observing photon-photon scattering in vacuum is proposed and analyzed briefly here. Rather conservative estimates show that about ten to twenty scattering events can be initiated by two x-ray flashbulbs, properly oriented and synchronized to flash together in an appropriate experimental arrangement.Keywords
