Abstract
The rate of pair production of open strings in general uniform electromagne tic fields is calculated in various space-time dimensions. The corrections with respect to the case of pure electric backgrounds are displayed. In par ticular, a contribution in the form of a Born-Infeld action is derived and its role in the present context emphasized (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. A ll rights reserved.
