Cosmic Superstrings Revisited in Light of NANOGrav 15-Year Data

Ellis, John, Lewicki, Marek, Lin, Chunshan et al.

Understand

We analyze cosmic superstring models in light of NANOGrav 15-year pulsar timing data.

A good fit is found for a string tension $G \mu \sim 10^{-12} - 10^{-11}$ and a string intercommutation probability $p \sim 10^{-3} - 10^{-1}$.
Extrapolation to higher frequencies assuming standard Big Bang cosmology is compatible at the 68\% CL with the current LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA upper limit on a stochastic gravitational wave background in the 10 to 100 Hz range.
The superstring interpretation of the NANOGrav data would be robustly testable by future experiments even in modified cosmological scenarios.
