Search for Cosmic Strings Through Their Gravitational Wave Signals

Speaker: Marek Lewicki (University of Warsaw)
Abstract: We are currently witnessing the dawn of a new era in astrophysics and cosmology, started by the LIGO/Virgo observations of Gravitational Waves (GWs). In this talk I will discuss prospects for detection of GW signals from cosmic strings with the upcoming next generation next generation of experiments and their current status in light of the recent data from pulsar timing arrays.
