Abstract
It is shown that classical decay of unstable D-branes in bosonic and superstring theories produces pressureless gas with non-zero energy density. The energy density is stored in the open string fields, even though around the minimum of the tachyon potential there are no open string degrees of freedom. We also give a description of this phenomenon in an effective field theory.
