abstract

In this article we update constraints on superconducting cosmic strings (SCSs) in light of the recent observational developments of fast radio bursts (FRBs) astronomy. Assuming strings follow an exponential distribution characterized by current, we show that two parameters in our context, which are the characteristic tension ($G\mu$) and a parameter which describes the aforementioned exponential distribution ($I_c$), can be constrained by FRB experiments. Particularly, we investigate data sets from Parkes and ASKAP. We looked through a parameter space where $G\mu \sim [10^{-17}, 10^{-12}]$ and $I_c\sim [10^{-1}, 10^{2}]$ GeV, and found our results show that Parkes jointly with ASKAP can constrain the parameter space for SCSs.

    Superconducting cosmic string loops emit vector radiation whose strength is fitted in this paper; including this channel suppresses the predicted gravitational wave background for strong coupling and can make the spectrum compatible with NANOGrav for large currents.
