The accuracy of the Braaten-Segel approximation for the plasma neutrino calculation is quantitatively assessed by comparison with the result obtained by using the Jancovici formula for the dielectric for degenerate electrons. It is found that the Braaten-Segel approximation is a reasonably good one when the plasma neutrino process is the most dominant process; the error is within ˜5% in this case. When the plasma neutrino process is not the most dominant, the accuracy of the Braaten-Segel approximation becomes much poorer.
