Description

In this talk, I will present the first ab initio computation of white dwarf (WD) cooling due to plasmon decay in a model of gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$. In particular, I will present the full result taking into account resonance effects of the $A'$ mass with the WD plasma frequencies.

I will show how current observations of the neutrino luminosity function of early-stage WDs exclude previously allowed regions of the parameter space favoured by a simultaneous explanation of the $(g-2)_\mu$ and $H_0$ anomalies.
