Abstract

The enhan\ifmmode \mbox\cc\else \cc\fion mechanism is studied in heterotic string theory. We consider the N_L=0 winding strings with momentum (NS1\ensuremath-W^*) and the Kaluza-Klein dyons (KK5\ensuremath-NS5^*). The NS1\ensuremath-W^* and KK5\ensuremath-NS5^* systems are dualized to the D4\ensuremath-D0^* and D6\ensuremath-D2^* systems, respectively, under the d=6 heterotic--type-IIA S duality. The heterotic form has a number of advantages over the type IIA form. We study these backgrounds and obtain the enhan\ifmmode \mbox\cc\else \cc\fion radii by brane probe analysis. The results are consistent with S duality.
