The shape of cosmic string loop production functions

We have recently made public a rather technical paper in which we explicitly and unambiguously calculate the cosmic string loop number density distribution in our universe coming from various motivated loop production functions. Such a density distribution crucially determines the spectrum of their emitted gravitational waves, a smooking gun for their potential discovery.
