[[UTAPwiki/セミナー/初期宇宙・相対論速報]] Speaker: Daisuke Yamauchi (Kanagawa Univ.) [from 1PM] Title: Collisions of superconducting strings with Y-junctions Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the dynamics of Nambu-Goto and superconducting strings with Y-junction at which three strings meet. When the two strings collide, they may be linked by a third string with different tension (and current), instead of intercommutation. In particular, I show the kinematical constraints on this process and the requirement to form the Y-junction when two strings collide. &br; |
