Constraints on Cosmic Super-Strings from Kaluza-Klein Emission
  Cosmic super-strings interact generically with a tower of light and/or strongly coupled Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes associated with the geometry of the internal space. We study the production of KK particles by cosmic super-string loops, and show that it is constrained by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We study the resulting constraints in the parameter space of the underlying string theory model and highlight their complementarity with the regions that can be probed by current and upcoming gravitational wave experiments.
