Using D-Strings to Describe Monopole Scattering - Numerical Calculations

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We calculate the energy radiated during the scattering of two D-strings stretched between two D3-branes, working from the Born-Infeld action for the D-strings. The ends of the D-strings are magnetic monopoles from the point of view of the gauge theory living on the D3-branes, and so the scattering we describe is equivalent to monopole scattering. Our results suggest that no energy is radiated during the scattering, in contrast to the monopole result of ref. [2].
