Description
Superconducting cosmic strings may be viewed as wires of thickness $1/Λ$ with $Λ=10^{16}$ TeV. We show that the weak interactions will spread out the current to distances $r= (1/M_Z)\ln (I/M_Z)$, where $I$ is the magnitude of the current in the string. Consequences for the scattering of light by these strings is presented.
