%0 Journal Article %T Black hole formation in $c=1$ String Field Theory %A J. Russo %J Physics %D 1992 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/0370-2693(93)91342-K %X A suggestion on how black holes may appear in Das-Jevicki Collective field theory is given. We study the behaviour of a `test' particle when energy is sent into the system. A perturbation moving near the potential barrier can create a large-distance black hole geometry where the seeming curvature singularity is at the position of the barrier. In the simplest `static' case the exact $D=2$ black hole metric emerges. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9211057v2
