The gravitational field of a superconducting cosmic string

  • 1. Newcastle upon Tyne Univ. (UK). Dept. of Theoretical Physics

Description

The gravitational properties of a long, straight superconducting string are discussed. It turns out that a light ray is deflected through an angle which depends on the total energy per unit length whereas the gravitational force on a test particle depends on the electromagnetic energy in the string.
