Description

In this talk, I will present the first $ab\ initio$ computation of the neutrino emissivities of White Dwarf stars due to plasmon decay in a model of gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$. I will present the relevant White Dwarf luminosities over the entire mass range of the new leptophilic gauge boson $A'$. In particular, taking into account the resonance effects, where the $A'$ mass is comparable to the White Dwarf plasma frequencies. I will demonstrate how current observations of the early-stage White Dwarf neutrino luminosity at the 30% accuracy level can test the allowed parameter space for explaining the $(g-2)_\mu$ anomaly in this model.
