COSMOLOGICAL DEFECT AND HIGH ENERGY EXPERIMENTS

Abstract

The production and evolution of cosmological defects are investigated based on the standard particle physics theory such as the electroweak unified model and quantum chromodynamics. In these models, the string type solution can be obtained. Although electroweak strings and pion strings are embedded ones and topologically unstable, they would be stabilized by high temperature plasma and bring various cosmological consequences. Moreover, the production of pion strings may be observed in the LHC experiment.
