  abstract = {{W}e present laboratory experiments to study the consequence of the rupture of a subducting slab on the deep geometry of the subduction zone. {I}n our experiments, slab break-off occurs after the entrance of buoyant material at trench causing a slowing down of the subduction and producing an increase of the shortening rate and a transient episode of subduction dip reversal. {W}e discuss the potential application of these processes to the recent collisional evolution of the {A}lps proposing that the rupture of the slab produced a reorganization of the belt with a transition from one sided to a doubly vergent orogen.},
