Title: Cosmic (super/superconducting) strings as a probe of high energy physics​
 
Abstract:  
The theoretical possibility of cosmic strings existence was suggested in the 1970s. Since that time, these hypothetical objects have passed through the ups and downs of scientific community attention. Cosmic strings evoked particular interest in the 2000s, whereby implementing superstring theory to the early universe description, we “have discovered cosmic strings lurking everywhere in the undergrowth”,as was expressed by Tom Kibble. Nowadays, many scenarios that extend the Standard Model of particles physics suggest the production of cosmic string. Future missions, such as LISA, with improved observational facilities, will probe models where cosmic strings occur, thereby shedding light on possible early universe scenarios. In this talk, I will make a short overview of models where cosmic strings take place. I will provide state of the art methods to study the evolution of cosmic strings and explain why we should pay attention to cosmic superconducting and (super)strings. I will conclude with current and future observational constraints on cosmic strings.
