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…

Effective non-intercommutation of local cosmic strings at high collision speeds
Ana Achucarro, Roland de Putter
We present evidence that Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) strings pass through each other for very high speeds of approach due to a double intercommutation. In near-perpendicular col…
