Cosmic Strings: Loops, Cosmic Rays: Acceleration

Scientific paper

A superconducting cosmic string loop can carry such a large current ≡1020A which causes a strong magnetic field around it. The motion of the loop yields an electric field which accelerates charged particles. A simple model for the acceleration mechanism is presented. It is shown that particles may get ultra-high-energies ≡1020eV and their integral energy spectrum is proportional to ɛ-1/2. The expected spectrum for reasonable parameters of the string is consistent with experiments. Constraints on the radius of the loop are also discussed.
