Approach to scaling in axion string networks
(APS, 2021-05-26)
We study the approach to scaling in axion string networks in the radiation era, through measuring the root-mean-square velocity v as well as the scaled mean string separation x. We find good evidence for a fixed point in ...
Loop decay in Abelian-Higgs string networks
(APS. American Physical Society, 2021-08-16)
We study the decay of cosmic string loops in the Abelian-Higgs model. We confirm earlier results that loops formed by intersections of infinite strings formed from random-field initial conditions disappear quickly, with ...
