Effect of high harmonic loops on gravitational wave bounds from cosmic
  strings
  Based on a binary tree model for the self intersection of cosmic string loops
containing high harmonics we estimate the number of self-intersections of the
parent and daughter loops and the associated cusp production to determine the
most likely number of cusp events per period on the resultant non-self
intersecting loops, and provide an updated calculation for the gravitational
wave signal that arrives on Earth from cusps on such loops. This is done for
different numbers of cusps supported from the cosmic strings of the network,
and for different harmonic distributions on the loops. We plot our results of
the event rate of gravitational waves emanating from the cusps in terms of
redshift, having fixed the value of $G\mu$ and the received frequency of the
signal, and compare our results to those in [1, 2].
