Neutrino emission via the plasma process in a magnetized plasma
Neutrino emission via the plasma process using the vertex formalism for QED
in a strongly magnetized plasma is considered. A new vertex function is
introduced to include the axial vector part of the weak interaction. Our
results are compared with previous calculations, and the effect of the axial
vector coupling on neutrino emission is discussed. The contribution from the
axial vector coupling can be of the same order as or greater than the vector
vector coupling under certain plasma conditions.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
