We assess the capability of LISA to detect these bursts using the latest LISA configuration and operational assumptions. For such short bursts, we verify that LISA can be considered as ``frozen", namely that one can neglect LISA's orbital motion. We consider two models for the network of cosmic string loops, and estimate that LISA should be able to detect 4-30 bursts per year assuming a string tension $Gμ\approx 10^{-10.6} - 10^{-10.1}$ and detection threshold $\rm{SNR} \ge 20$. Non-detection of these bursts would constrain the string tension to $Gμ\lesssim 10^{-11}$ for both models.OPENLISACosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)string tensiongravitational radiation500FOS: Physical sciencesGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)530gravitational radiation detectorGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologysupernova remnantHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)cosmic string, network[PHYS.HPHE]Physics [physics]/High Energy Physics - Phenomenology [hep-ph]network[PHYS.GRQC]Physics [physics]/General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology [gr-qc]cosmic string[PHYS.ASTR]Physics [physics]/Astrophysics [astro-ph]burstgravitational radiation, burstAstrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysicspublicationdoi_dedup___:75ba54f681ebf919700250bd4b46f5b0http://arxiv.org/abs/2305.116532078.1/278841
