Scientific paper

We study the production of vortons in the early universe. Vortons are rings of vortex stabilized by charge, current and angular momentum. They are able to carry all of the quantum numbers of ordinary point particles. We discuss a mechanism by which they may be produced during the damped epoch following a string-producing phase transition. We estimate their density, discuss their stability, and remark on some possible cosmological consequences. We look at two examples where vorton production may be significant: the OTW scenario for explosive formation of large scale structure and electroweak strings in the sun.
