Abstract

We present a detailed analytical and numerical study of a novel type of static, superconducting, classically stable string texture in a renormalizable topologically trivial massive U(1) gauge model with one charged and one neutral scalar. An upper bound on the mass of the charged scalar as well as on the current that the string can carry are established. A preliminary unsuccesful search for stable solutions corresponding to large superconducting loops is also reported.
