  • Abstract
    We consider the behaviour of neutral non-BPS branes probed by scalars and gravitons. We show that the naked singularity of the non-BPS branes is a repulson absorbing no incoming radiation. The naked singularity is surrounded by an infinite potential well breaking the unitarity of the scattering S-matrix. We compute the absorption cross section which is infrared divergent. In particular this confirms that gravity does not decouple for the non-BPS branes.
