    Absorption and Recoil of Fundamental String by D-String

    Inclusive absorption cross section of fundamental IIB string to D-string is calculated perturbatively. The leading order result agrees with estimate based on stringy Higgs mechanism via Cremmer-Scherk coupling. It is argued that the subleading order correction is dominated by purely planar diagrams in the large mass limit. The correction represents conversion of binding energy into local recoil process of the fundamental string and D-string bound state. We show their presence explicitly in the next leading order.Comment: harvmac, 4 figures, 17 page
