The Heterotic Enhancon

Abstract

The enhancon mechanism is studied in the heterotic string theory. We consider the N_L=0 winding strings with momentum (NS1-W*) and the Kaluza-Klein dyons (KK5-NS5*). The NS1-W* and KK5-NS5* systems are dualized to the D4-D0* and D6-D2* systems, respectively, under the d=6 heterotic/IIA S-duality. The heterotic form has a number of advantages over the type IIA form. We study these backgrounds and obtain the enhancon radii by brane probe analysis. The results are consistent with S-duality.
