DESCRIPTION:\n\nIn my talk\, I will present the so-called slingshot effect
 . It represents a general phenomenon that occurs when a localized source\,
  such as a magnetic monopole\, quark\, or a D-brane\, crosses a wall separ
 ating the confined (Higgsed) and unconfined (Coulomb) phases. The crossove
 r is accompanied by a stretched string that confines the source to the wal
 l. The string tension accelerates the source towards the wall as sort of a
  slingshot. The effect can take place in different setups\, such as phase
  transitions leading to both electric and magnetic confinement\, as well a
 s in string cosmology involving D-branes. I will discuss the role of this 
 phenomenon in sourcing gravitational waves. \n\n\n\nhttps://indico.ijs.si
