Collision of cosmic superstrings

Collision of cosmic superstrings

We study the formation of three-string junctions between $(p,q)$-cosmic superstrings, and collisions between such strings and show that kinematic constraints analogous to those found previously for collisions of Nambu-Goto strings apply here too, with suitable modifications to take account of the additional requirements of flux conservation. We examine in detail …
