Abstract

We compute analytically the small-scale temperature fluctuations of cosmic microwave background from cosmic (super-)strings and study the dependence on the string intercommuting probability P. We develop an analytical model which describes the evolution of a string network and calculate the numbers of string segments and kinks in a horizon volume. Then we derive the probability distribution function (pdf). The resultant pdf consists of a Gaussian part due to frequent scattering by long string segments and a non-Gaussian tail due to close encounters with kinks. It contains two phenomenological parameters which are determined by comparison with the result of numerical simulations for P = 1 by Fraisse et al.. We predict that the non-Gaussian feature is suppressed for small P.
