@article { , title = {Scaling in a SU(2)/Z\_3 model of cosmic superstring networks}, abstract = {Motivated by recent developments in superstring theory in the cosmological context, we examine a field theory which contains string networks with 3-way junctions. We perform numerical simulations of this model, identify the length scales of the network that forms, and provide evidence that the length scales tend towards a scaling regime, growing in proportion to time. We infer that the presence of junctions does not in itself cause a superstring network to dominate the energy density of the early Universe.}, doi = {10.1088/1126-6708/2006/08/066}, eissn = {1029-8479}, issue = {8}, journal = {Journal of High Energy Physics}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/703777}, volume = {2006}, year = {2006}, author = {Hindmarsh, Mark and Saffin, P.M.} }
