*“Gravitational Wave Signals from Local Cosmic String Networks **"*
*
*
_Abstract_
In this talk, we will review the main theoretical components underlying 
the cosmological formation and evolution of local cosmic string 
networks. We will show how large-scale numerical simulations can be used 
to extract detailed information about the dynamics of these networks. In 
particular, we will focus on the evolution of cosmic string loops, 
highlighting recent progress in numerically tracking their full 
lifetimes while accounting for the gravitational backreaction from their 
evaporation. Building on this, we will present a framework for computing 
the resulting stochastic gravitational wave background, emphasizing the 
impact of backreaction effects. Finally, we will discuss the latest 
observational constraints on these models and examine the exciting 
prospects for testing them with current and future gravitational wave 
observatories.
