Abstract

We extend and generalise the string corrections to the EM memory to the Type I superstring including spin effects. Very much as in the simpler bosonic string context, the relevant corrections are non-perturbative in α\alpha', slowly decaying (as 1/R1/R) at large distances and modulated in retarded time u=tRu=t-R. For spin NN states in the first Regge trajectory they entail a sequence of NN derivatives wrt uu on the `parent' N=0N=0 amplitude. We also briefly discuss how to include loop effects, that broaden and shift the string resonances, and how to modify our analysis for macroscopic semi-classical quasi-BPS coherent states, whose collisions may lead to detectable string memory signals in viable Type I models.
