Vector gauge boson radiation from compact binary systems in a gauged L_μ-L_τ scenario
read the original abstract
The orbital period of a compact binary system decays mainly due to quadrupole gravitational radiation, which agrees with the observation to within one percent. Other types of radiation such as ultralight scalar or pseudoscalar radiation, massive vector boson radiation also contribute to the decay of orbital period as long as the mass of the emitted particle is less than the orbital frequency of the compact binary system. We obtain an expression of the energy loss due to the radiation of massive vector field from the neutron star-neutron star and neutron star-white dwarf binaries. Due to large chemical potential of the degenerate electrons, neutron stars have large muon charge. We derive the energy loss due to $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge boson radiation from the binaries. For the radiation of vector boson, the mass is restricted by $M_{Z^\prime}<\Omega \simeq10^{-19}eV$ are the orbital frequencies of the compact star binaries. Using the formula of orbital period decay, we obtain constraints on the coupling constant of the gauge boson in the gauged $L_\mu-L_\tau$ theory for the four compact binary systems. For vector gauge boson muon coupling we find that for $M_{Z^\prime}<10^{-19}eV$, constraints on the coupling constant is $g<\mathcal{O}(10^{-20})$. We also obtain the exclusion plots of the massive vector proca field and the gauge field which can couple to muons.

Constraints on long-range neutrino interactions from a variety of $U(1)^\prime$ symmetries using atmospheric neutrinos at IceCube DeepCore
No evidence for long-range neutrino interactions from a broad class of anomaly-free U(1)' symmetries is found in 8 years of IceCube DeepCore atmospheric data, producing stringent constraints on the corresponding LRI p...

Neutron Star Bounds on Muonic Fifth Forces from Picometer to Kilometer Scales
Neutron stars yield tighter bounds on muonic scalar and vector fifth forces (g_φμ ≲ 10^{-12}, g_Vμ ≲ 3×10^{-13} for m_X ≲ 100 keV) than SN 1987A, plus hydrostatic constraints for long-range cases.

Muonic Boson Limits: Supernova Redux
Supernova models yield coupling limits g_a ≲ 0.9×10^{-10} and g_φ ≲ 0.4×10^{-10} for masses above 100 keV from gamma-ray observations, plus stronger trapping-regime limits from explosion energy, that are difficult to ...

New Gauge Forces, Neutron Stars and Schwinger Neutrino Production
For Lμ-Lτ gauge forces with g ≳ 10^{-18}, Schwinger neutrino production in neutron stars alters composition, invalidates merger constraints at g ≳ 10^{-17}, and could yield detectable ~100 MeV neutrino fluxes from you...
