We analyze in the spirit of hep-th/0110039 the possible existence of supersymmetric $D p - \bar D p$ brane systems in flat ten dimensional Minkowski space. For $p=3,4$ we show that besides the solutions related by T-duality to the $D2 -…

We explicitly construct massive (0,4) supersymmetric ADHM sigma models which have heterotic p-brane solitons as their conformal fixed points. These yield the familiar gauge 5-brane and a new 1-brane solution which preserve 1/2 and 1/4 of…
