Probing Unification Scenarios with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
I. M. Dreyer, C. J. A. P. Martins
We extend a recently developed Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) code, {\tt PRyMordial}, to constrain a broad class of Grand Unified Theories to which BBN is sensitive, since these le…
Scaling solutions for current-carrying cosmic string networks. II. Biased solutions
F. C. N. Q. Pimenta, C. J. A. P. Martins
The charge-velocity-dependent one-scale model is an extension of the canonical velocity-dependent one-scale model which explicitly incorporates additional degrees of freedom on the…
Evolution of current-carrying string networks
J. R. C. C. C. Correia, C. J. A. P. Martins, F. C. N. Q. Pimenta
Cosmic string networks are expected to form in early Universe phase transitions via the Kibble mechanism and are unavoidable in several Beyond the Standard Model theories. While mo…
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…
On the Evolution of Abelian-Higgs String Networks
J. N. Moore, E. P. S. Shellard, C. J. A. P. Martins
We study the evolution of Abelian-Higgs string networks in large-scale numerical simulations in both a static and expanding background. We measure the properties of the network by…
