Cosmic Strings
A. Achucarro, C. J. A. P. Martins
Cosmic strings are linear concentrations of energy that form whenever phase transitions in the early universe break axial symmetries as originally shown by Kibble. They are the res…

Helical Magnetic Fields from Sphaleron Decay and Baryogenesis
Craig J. Copi, Francesc Ferrer, Tanmay Vachaspati +1
Many models of baryogenesis rely on anomalous particle physics processes to give baryon number violation. By numerically evolving the electroweak equations on a lattice, we show th…

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…
