Description
Topological defects are a natural consequence of several symmetry breaking phase transitions. In this talk I will concentrate on cosmic strings and give an overview of the search for signatures of cosmic strings using various methods. I will then describe how magnetic fields can be generated in the wakes of Abelian Higgs strings. The magnetic field generated in these wakes can open up a whole new field for detection of these exotic objects using different forms of eletromagnetic radiation.
