Cosmic string Y-junctions: a comparison between field theoretic and Nambu-Goto dynamics
Neil Bevis, Paul M. Saffin
We explore the formation of cosmic string Y-junctions when strings of two different types collide, which has recently become important since string theory can yield cosmic strings…

CMB polarization power spectra contributions from a network of cosmic strings
Neil Bevis, Mark Hindmarsh, Martin Kunz +1
We present the first calculation of the possible (local) cosmic string contribution to the cosmic microwave background polarization spectra from simulations of a string network (ra…

Fitting CMB data with cosmic strings and inflation
Neil Bevis, Mark Hindmarsh, Martin Kunz +1
We perform a multiparameter likelihood analysis to compare measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra with predictions from models involving cosmic strings…
