We calculate the potential for Dp-\Dbar p pair and show that the coincident
Dp-\Dbar p system has (11−p) tachyonic modes, with (9−p) of them due to
radiative corrections. We propose that the decay width of an unstable
non-BPS-Dp-brane to closed strings is given by the imaginary part of the
one-loop contribution to the effective potential of the open string tachyon
mode.Comment: 16 Pages, 3 Figure
