Medium effects in the pion pole mechanism (photon photon --> pion-zero --> neutrino-R antineutrino-L (neutrino-L antineutrino-R)) of neutron star cooling

F. Arretche, A. A. Natale, D. N. Voskresensky

Nuclear medium effects in the neutrino cooling of neutron stars through the exotic reaction channel γγ--> π^0--> ν_R \bar{ν_L} (ν_L \bar{ν_R}) are incorporated. Throughout the pape…
