On the String Pair Creation in Dp-Dp' Brane System

Abstract

We address the bosonic string pair creation in a system of parallel Dp-Dp' (p<p') branes by applying the path integral formalism. We drive the string pair creation rate by calculating the one loop vacuum amplitude of the setup in presence of the background electric field defined over the Dp'-brane. It is pointed out that just the components of the electric field defined over the $p$ spatial directions (the common directions along which the both D-branes are extended) give rise to the pair creation
