The decay of massive closed superstrings with maximum angular momentum

We study the decay of a very massive closed superstring (i.e. α′M 2 ≥ 1) in the unique state of maximum angular momentum. This is done in flat ten-dimensional spacetime and in the regime of weak string coupling, where the dominant decay channel is into two states of masses M 1, M 2. We find that the...
