Abstract
The axial vector contribution to the plasma neutrino energy-loss rate for strongly degenerate electrons is calculated by using the accurate dispersion relation for the transverse plasmon which is valid for rela tivistically degenerate electrons. Comparison is made with previous ca lculations. It is found that the axial vector contribution to the plas ma neutrino energy-loss rate is at most on the order of 10(-4) of the vector contribution for strongly degenerate electrons, which is about 10(-2) of the value recently reported by Braaten
