Summary of numerical simulation resultsa for the string density parameter ζ defined in Eq. (5).

Epoch MS RSB BOS MSM BHKU

Radiation ............ 11.5 9.5 11.0 5.0 3.8
Matter ............... 3.0 3.2 3.7 1.5 1.3

Notes. The Nambu-Goto string simulations are respectively labelled as MS (Martins & Shellard 2006), RSB (Ringeval et al. 2007), and BOS (Blanco-Pillado et al. 2011). This is contrasted with the much lower density results from lattice field theory simulations of vortex-strings labelled as MSM (Moore et al. 2002) and BHKU (Bevis et al. 2007b).
