Abstract = {{We use resonant x-ray scattering to determine the momentum-dependent
   charge correlations in YBa2Cu3O6.55 samples with highly ordered chain
   arrays of oxygen acceptors (ortho-II structure). The results reveal
   nearly critical, biaxial charge density wave (CDW) correlations at
   in-plane wave vectors (0.315, 0) and (0, 0.325). The corresponding
   scattering intensity exhibits a strong uniaxial anisotropy. The CDW
   amplitude and correlation length are enhanced as superconductivity is
   weakened by an external magnetic field. Analogous experiments are
   carried out on a YBa2Cu3O6.6 crystal with a dilute concentration of
   spinless (Zn) impurities, which had earlier been shown to nucleate
   incommensurate magnetic order. Compared to pristine crystals with the
   same doping level, the CDW amplitude and correlation length are found to
   be strongly reduced. These results indicate a three-phase competition
   between spin-modulated, charge-modulated, and superconducting states in
   underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+delta.}},
