Semi-analytic calculation of cosmic microwave background anisotropies from wiggly and superconducting cosmic strings

We study how the presence of world-sheet currents affects the evolution of cosmic string networks, and their impact on predictions for the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies generated by these networks. We provide a general description of string networks with currents and explicitly inve...
