High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-05 v3

Abstract

We evaluate the sphere level S-matrix element of two tachyons and two massless NS states, the S-matrix element of four tachyons, and the S-matrix element of two tachyons and two Ramon-Ramond vertex operators, in type 0 theory. We then find an expansion for theses amplitudes that their leading order terms correspond to a covariant tachyon action. To the order considered, there are no T4T^4, T2(\prtT)2T^2(\prt T)^2, T2H2T^2H^2, nor T2RT^2R tachyon couplings, whereas, the tachyon couplings F\bFTF\bF T and T2F2T^2F^2 are non-zero.
