Abstract

In a recent paper, Duff and Rahmfeld argued that certain massive NR=1/2N_R=1/2 states of the four-dimensional heterotic string correspond to extreme black hole solutions. We provide further, dynamical, evidence for this identification by comparing the scattering of these elementary string states with that of the corresponding extreme black holes, in the limit of low velocities.
