  Chiral cosmic strings are produced naturally at the end of inflation in
supersymmetric models where the symmetry is broken via a D-term. Consequently
in such theories, where both inflation and cosmic strings contribute to the
density and CMBR (microwave background) perturbations, it is necessary to
understand the evolution of chiral cosmic string networks. We study the
dynamics of chiral cosmic strings in Minkowski space and comment on a number of
differences with those of Nambu-Goto strings. To do this we follow the work of
Carter and Peter who showed that the equations of motion for chiral cosmic
strings reduce to a wave equation and two constraints, only one of which is
different from the familiar Nambu-Goto constraints. We study chiral string loop
solutions consisting of many harmonics and determine their self-intersection
probabilities, and comment on the possible cosmological significance of these
results.
