Description
Cosmic strings are topological defects which can be formed in GUT-scale phase transitions in
the early universe. They are also predicted to form in the context of string theory. I will present the analysis conducted to specifically search for gravitational-wave bursts from cosmic string loops in the data of Advanced LIGO 2015-2016 observing run (O1).
