We construct a classical solution in the GSO(-) sector in the framework of aWess-Zumino-Witten-like open superstring field theory on a non-BPS D-brane. Weuse an su(2) supercurrent, which is obtained by compactifying a direction to acircle with the critical radius, in order to get analytical tachyonic lumpsolutions to the equation of motion. By investigating the action expandedaround a solution we find that it represents a deformation from a non-BPSD-brane to a D-brane-anti-D-brane system at the critical value of a parameterwhich is contained in classical solutions. Although such a process wasdiscussed in terms of boundary conformal field theory before, our study isbased on open superstring field theory including interaction terms.Comment: 17 pages, references adde
