On decay of Bulk Tachyons

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We investigate a decay of a bulk tachyon with a Kaluza-Klein momentum in bosonic and Type 0 string theories compactified on S^1. Potential for the tachyon has a (local) minimum. A decay of the tachyon would lead the original theory to a strongly coupled theory. An endpoint of the decay would exist if the strong coupling limit exists and it is a stable theory.
