Abstract

Classical solutions describing strings endowed with an electric charge and carrying a constant electromagnetic current are constructed within the bosonic sector of the electroweak theory. For any given ratio of the Higgs boson mass to W boson mass and for any Weinberg's angle, these strings comprise a family that can be parameterized by values of the current through their cross section, I 3 , by their electric charge per unit string length, I 0 , and by two integers. These parameters determine the electromagnetic and Z fluxes, as well as the angular momentum and momentum densities of the string. For I 0 → 0 and I 3 → 0 the solutions reduce to Z strings, or, for solutions with I 0 = ± I 3 , to the W-dressed Z strings whose existence was discussed some time ago.
