This paper studies the dynamics of scalar particle production, focusing on the presence of multiple fields and couplings in the medium. The interplay of various fields and couplings can influence the production rate, potentially overshadowing the effect of electrons alone. The plasma mixing, which induces the resonance and screening of scalar processes, is shown to be modified by the in-medium effects depending on the type of processes and field contents. Incorporating these in-medium effects into the analysis of stellar cooling via scalar emission allows for the emergence of various features of multi-field effects given in several types of scalar models., Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures
