We rederive, using an elementary formalism, the general solution to the equations of motion for a superconducting string with a chiral (null) neutral current, earlier obtained by Carter and Peter. We apply this solution to show that the motion of such string loops is strictly periodic and analyze cusp-like behavior and vorton solutions of arbitrary shape. We argue that this solution can be used to approximately describe the dynamics of superconducting strings with small non-chiral currents. We use this description to estimate the electromagnetic radiation power from such strings.

    Lattice simulations show the gravitational-wave spectrum from superconducting cosmic strings develops a coupling-dependent suppression at high frequencies, distinguishing them from ordinary Abelian–Higgs strings.

  2. Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Chiral Superconducting Cosmic Strings

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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 spec...
