The Bonferroni correction compensates for that increase by testing each individual hypothesis at a significance level of , where is the desired overall alpha level and is the number of hypotheses. [4] For example, if a trial is testing hypotheses with a desired overall , then the Bonferroni correction would test each individual hypothesis at .

Chirped pulse amplification ( CPA) is a technique for amplifying an ultrashort laser pulse up to the petawatt level, with the laser pulse being stretched out temporally and spectrally, then amplified, and then compressed again. [1] The stretching and compression uses devices that ensure that the different color components of the pulse travel ...
