Gravitational wave signatures from kink proliferation on cosmic (super-) strings
P. Binetruy, A. Bohe, T. Hertog +1
Junctions on cosmic string loops give rise to the proliferation of sharp kinks. We study the effect of this proliferation on the gravitational wave (GW) signals emitted from string…

Proliferation of sharp kinks on cosmic (super-)string loops with junctions
P. Binetruy, A. Bohe, T. Hertog +1
Motivated by their effect on the gravitational wave signal emitted by cosmic strings, we study the dynamics of kinks on strings of different tensions meeting at junctions. The prop…
