We studied in detail the propagation of a massive tachyonic scalar feld in the background of a fve-dimensional (5�) Einstein–Yang–Mills–Born–Infeld–dilaton black string: the massive Klein–Gordon equation was solved, exactly. Next we obtained complete analytical expressions for the greybody factor, absorption cross section, and decay rate for the tachyonic scalar feld in the geometry under consideration. Te behaviors of the obtained results are graphically represented for diferent values of the theory’s free parameters. We also discuss why tachyons should be used instead of ordinary particles for the analytical derivation of the greybody factor of the dilatonic 5� black string. 1. Introduction of time. It is also worth noting that although BSs are defned as a higher-dimensional generalization of a BH, in which 2 1 A wealth of information about quantum gravity can be the event horizon is topologically equivalent to � ×� and �−1 1 obtained by studying the unique and fascinating objects spacetime is asymptotically � ×�,four-dimensional known as black holes (BHs). In BH physics, greybody factors (4�) BSs are also derived. Lemos and Santos [19–21] showed (GFs) modify black-body radiation, or predicted Hawking that cylindrically symmetric static solutions, with a negative radiation [1, 2], within the limits of geometrical optics [3]. cosmological constant, of the Einstein–Maxwell equations In other words, GFs modify the Hawking radiation spectrum admit charged 4� BSs. A rotating version of the charged 4� observed at spatial infnity (SI), so that the radiation is not BSs [22, 23] exhibits features similar to the Kerr-Newman BH purely Planckian [4]. insphericaltopology.TeproblemofanalyzingGFsofscalar GF, absorption cross section (ACS), and decay rate felds from charged 4� BSs has recently been discussed by (DR) are quantities dependent upon both the frequency of Ahmed and Saifullah [24]. An interesting point about GFs radiation and the geometry of spacetime. Currently, although has been reported by [25]: BH energy loss during Hawking there are many studies of GF, ACS, and DR (see, for example, radiation depends, crucially, on the GF and the particles’ [5–10] and the references therein), the number of analytical degrees of freedom. studies of GFs that consider modifed black-body radiation As mentioned above, further study of the GFs of BSs of higher-dimensional (�>4) spacetimes, like the BHs in is required. To fll this literature gap, in the current study, string theory and black strings [11–13], is rather limited (see, we considered dilatonic 5� BS [26], which is a solution forinstance,[6,7,14–18]).Tispaucityofstudieshasarisen to the Einstein–Yang–Mills–Born–Infeld–dilaton (EYMBID) from the mathematical difculty of obtaining an analytical theory. We analytically studied its GF, ACS, and DR for solution to the wave equation of the stringent geometry massive scalar felds; however, we considered tachyonic being considered; in fact, analytical GF computations apply to scalar particles instead of ordinary ones. Te main reason spacetimes in which the metric components are independent for this consideration is that using ordinary mass in the 2 Advances in High Energy Physics Klein–Gordon equation (KGE) of the dilatonic 5� BS (as will Newtonian constant and its relation to its 4� form (�(4)) is be explained in detail later) leads to the diverging of GFs. given by Roughly speaking, this is due to the fux of the propagating � =� ��−4, waves of the ordinary massive scalar felds.
