Contribution

It extends semiclassical absorption calculations from type IIB to type 0B string theory, incorporating background tachyon effects and correction estimates.

Findings

Absorption probability computed for dilaton s-wave in type 0B theory.

Relation established between solutions in different regions using tachyon background.

Expected logarithmic correction form similar to confinement solutions.

Abstract

We find the absorption probability of dilaton field in type 0B string theory. Since the background solutions are of the form $AdS_5 \times S^5$ on both regions, we use the semiclassical formalism adopted in type IIB theory to find the absorption cross section. The background tachyon field solution was used as a reference to relate the solutions of the two regions. We also consider the possible corrections to absorption probability and the $\ln(\ln z)$ form of the correction is expected as in the calculation of the confinement solution.
