Number of closed strings emitted from a decaying D-brane

We have calculated in the covariant gauge the total number of massless closed strings emitted from a decaying Dp-brane using fermionization technology on the time component of the boundary state. This verifies the computation carried out in the less well known temporal gauge despite differences in r...
