Abstract
A charged superconducting cosmic string produces an extremely large electri c field in its vicinity. This leads to vacuum instability and to the format ion of a charged vacuum condensate which screens the electric charge of the , string. We analyze the structure of this condensate using the Thomas-Ferm i method. [S0556-2821(99)05318-7].
