High speed collision and reconnection of Abelian Higgs strings in the deep type-II regime
G. J. Verbiest, A. Achúcarro
We study high speed collision and reconnection of cosmic strings in the type-II regime (scalar-to-gauge mass ratios larger than one) of the Abelian Higgs model. New phenomena such…

Higher order intercommutations in Cosmic String Collisions
A. Achúcarro, G. J. Verbiest
We report the first observation of multiple intercommutation (more than two successive reconnections) of cosmic strings at ultra-high collision speeds, and the formation of ``kink…
