On the Collision of Cosmic Superstrings
E. J. Copeland, H. Firouzjahi, T. W. B. Kibble +1
We study the formation of three-string junctions between (p,q)-cosmic superstrings, and collisions between such strings and show that kinematic constraints analogous to those found…

Kinematic Constraints on Formation of Bound States of Cosmic Strings - Field Theoretical Approach
P. Salmi, A. Achucarro, E. J. Copeland +3
Superstring theory predicts the potential formation of string networks with bound states ending in junctions. Kinematic constraints for junction formation have been derived within…
