Abstract

In this paper, we employ cut and paste scheme to construct thin-shell wormhole of a charged black string with f(R) terms. We consider f(R) model as an exotic matter source at wormhole throat. The stability of the respective solutions are analyzed under radial perturbations in the context of R+δR 2 model. It is concluded that both stable as well as unstable solutions do exist for different values of δ. In the limit δ→0, all our results reduce to general relativity.
