On the formation of non-topological string networks
Ana Achúcarro, Julian Borrill, Andrew R. Liddle
We review recent simulations of the formation of a particular class of non-topological defects known as semilocal strings during a phase transition. Semilocal strings have properti…

The formation rate of semilocal strings
Ana Achucarro, Julian Borrill, Andrew R Liddle
We carry out three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the formation rate of semilocal strings. We find that the back-reaction of the gauge fields on the scalar field…
