gravitational wave (GW) spectrum generated by a cosmic string (CS) network formed as a
result of a high-scale U (1) symmetry breaking. A PBH-dominated phase leads to tilts in the
spectrum via entropy dilution and generates a new GW spectrum from PBH density
fluctuations, detectable at ongoing and planned near-future GW detectors. The combined
spectrum has a unique shape with a plateau, a sharp tilted peak over the plateau, and a …
