Abstract
We consider several properties of a set of anti-D-branes in the presence of orientifold -planes in type II theory. This system breaks all the supersymmetries of the theory, but is free of tachyons. In particular, we center on the case of a single anti-D-brane stuck at a negatively charged orientifold -plane, and study its strong coupling behaviour for . Interestingly enough, as the coupling increases the system undergoes a phase transition where an additional antibrane is created. We conclude with some remarks on the limit of large number of antibranes on top of orientifold planes.
