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…
Semilocal Cosmic String Networks
A. Achucarro, P. Salmi, J. Urrestilla
We report on a large scale numerical study of networks of semilocal cosmic strings in flat space in the parameter regime in which they are perturbatively stable. We find a populati…
