The tachyon condensation is studied in asymmetric D-anti D systems. Taking asystem of two pairs of D5-anti D5 in type IIB superstring theory in thebackground of large N D5-branes, we show that one BPS D1-brane comes out afterthe condensation. It is also seen that the BPS D1-brane feels no force from thebackground D5-branes. We also show that the inclusion of the fluctuation fieldsgives an expected Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action of the resultant D1-brane. Onthe other hand, in the case of one pair of D5-anti D5 in the same background,we show that the resultant BPS D3-brane experiences attractive force from thebackground D5-branes.Comment: 18 pages, minor corrections, to appear in Prog.
