Pion mass effects on axion emission from neutron stars through NN bremsstrahlung processes
arXiv:0906.3134 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.07.007 10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.12.001
Abstract
The rates of axion emission by nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung are calculated with the inclusion of the full momentum contribution from a nuclear one pion exchange (OPE) potential. The contributions of the neutron-neutron (nn), proton-proton (pp) and neutron-proton (np) processes in both the nondegenerate and degenerate limits are explicitly given. We find that the finite momentum corrections to the emissivities are quantitatively significant for the non-degenerate regime and temperature-dependent, and should affect the existing axion mass bounds. The trend of these nuclear effects is to diminish the emissivities.
