Detecting Muons in Neutron Stars with Neutrinos and Gravitational Waves

Mar 3, 2021, 11:00 AM

Speaker

Toby Opferkuch (CERN)

Description

A large abundance of stable muons is an inescapable consequence of high-mass neutron stars. In this talk I will firstly discuss the role of muon diffusion in neutron stars. This can lead to out-of-equilibrium muon decays yielding MeV-scale neutrinos as well as contribution to the neutron star cooling rate. In the second part I will turn to BSM scenarios in which muonic forces play a role in neutron star binaries and their subsequent mergers through gravitational wave measurements.
