Myron Wyn Evans, chemist and physicist, was born in Craig-Cefn-Parc, Wales on 26th May 1950, parents the late Edward Ivor and Mary Evans.  Myron\'s father was a coal miner, bronze, silver and gold medals of the Mines\' Rescue Service. His mother was the daughter of a coal miner, Thomas Elim Havard Jones, Head Deacon of Elim Welsh Baptist Chapel, Craig-Cefn-Parc, descending from an eleventh century Norman family, the Havard or Harvard family.

Dr. Evans is a Meldola and Harrison Medallist of the Royal Society of Chemistry of London; Junior Research Fellow (1975) of Wolfson College, Oxford; and graduate of the University of Wales (D. Sc., 1977). He married Laura Jean Joseph, 1988, and Larisa Hachikjana, 2004. He came to US in 1986, was naturalized a US citizen 2000 at Cornell University.

Dr. Evans first proposed the existence of the B(3) field in Physica B, in 1992, at Cornell University, and has developed it since then in volumes such as Modern Nonlinear Optics (Wiley, 1997, paperback); The Enigmatic Photon (Kluwer 1994 to present, first four volumes); The Photon\'s Magnetic Field, and The Photomagneton in Quantum Field Theory, both for World Scientific; and in several papers and letters.

Jean-Pierre Vigier earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from University of Geneva in 1946 and served briefly as a member of the French Atomic Commission together with Frederic Joliot-Curie. In 1948 he was appointed assistant to Louis de Broglie (Nobel Prize in 1929 for discovery of wave nature of particles), a position he held until the latter\'s retirement in 1962, although their collaboration lasted another 10 years. He is the author of more than 200 scientific papers, and has co-authored and edited a number of books and conference proceedings. He is a member of the editorial board of Physics Letters A, and remains one of the most vocal proponents of the Stochastic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

Interference and diffraction phenomena have been studied using Maxwell\'s equations yielding amplitude, phase and Poynting vector spatial distributions for a variety of geometries. This analysis has been used to refute claims that a pulsed microwave double slit experiment might challenge Complementarity. Recent work has concerned experimental checks on the recent suggestion that the classical electromagnetic field may, if circularly polarised, carry a longitudinal, constant component, the so-called B(3) field.
