Abstract

We calculate tree level three and four point scattering amplitudes in type II string models with matter fields localized at the intersections of D-brane wrapping cycles. The analysis of the three point amplitude is performed in the context of Yukawa couplings and it is seen that a natural mechanism for the generation of a mass hierarchy arises. The four point amplitude for fermions at the intersection of four independent stacks of D-branes is then determined.
