Scientific paper

The time dependent formation of an electric flux tube (fundamental string) is reviewed. The main tool used for analysis is the Spacelike brane, which is a kink in time of the rolling tachyon. Both the S-brane and rolling tachyon are attempts to extend the D-brane concept to time dependent backgrounds. While S-branes are similar to Euclidean counterparts of the more familiar timelike D-branes, S-branes can smoothly change their worldvolume signature from spacelike to timelike which we interpret as the formation of a topological defect.
