Evolution of cosmic superstring networks: a numerical simulation
Jon Urrestilla, Alexander Vilenkin
We study the formation and evolution of an interconnected string network in large-scale field-theory numerical simulations, both in flat spacetime and in expanding universe. The ne…

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…
