Abstract. In the context of the brane world scenario, cosmic superstrings can be formed in D-brane annihilation at the end of the brane inflationary era. The cosmic superstring network has a scaling solution and the characteristic scale of the network is proportional to the square root of the reconnection probability.

Key words: cosmology with extra dimensions; string theory and cosmology; physics of the early universe
