Search for the most stable massive state in superstring theory
Diego Chialva, Roberto Iengo, Jorge G. Russo
In ten dimensional type II superstring, all perturbative massive states are unstable, typically with a short lifetime compared to the string scale. We find that the lifetime of the…

Long Lived Large Type II Strings: decay within compactification
Diego Chialva, Roberto Iengo
Motivated also by recent revival of interest about metastable string states (as cosmic strings or in accelerator physics), we study the decay, in presence of dimensional compactifi…
