D-Brane Effective Actions and Particle Production near the Beginning of the Tachyon Condensation

Abstract

In this paper we will study the quantum field theory of fluctuation modes around the classical solution that describes tachyon condensation on unstable D-brane.We will calculate the number of particle produced near the beginning of the rolling tachyon process. We will perform this calculation for different tachyon effective actions and we will find that the rate of the particle production strongly depends on the form of the effective action used for the description of the early stage of the tachyon condensation.
