Mass and Decay Spectra of the Piecewise Uniform String

Abstract

Mass and decay spectra are calculated for quantum massive excitations of a piecewise uniform bosonic string. The physical meaning of the critical temperatures characterizing the radiation in the decay of a massive microstate in string theory is discussed.
