abstract
As one of the detection targets of all gravitational wave detectors at present, stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) provides us an important way to understand the evolution of our universe. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of detecting the SGWB generated by the loops, which arose throughout the cosmological evolution of the cosmic string network, by individual space detectors (e.g.~LISA, TAIJI) and joint space detectors (LISA-TAIJI). For joint detectors, we choose three different configurations of TAIJI (e.g.~TAIJIm, TAIJIp, TAIJIc) to form the LISA-TAIJI networks. And we investigate the performance of them to detect the SGWB. Though comparing the power-law sensitivity (PLS) curves of individual space detectors and joint detectors with energy density spectrum of SGWB. We find that LISA-TAIJIc has the best sensitivity for detecting the SGWB from cosmic string loops and is promising to further constrains the tension of cosmic sting $G\mu=O(10^{-17})$.
