Progress in weakly coupled string phenomenology

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

The weakly coupled vacuum of E8E8E_8\otimes E_8 heterotic string theory remains an attractive scenario for particle physics. The particle spectrum and the issue of dilaton stabilization are reviewed. A specific model for hidden sector condensation and supersymmetry breaking, that respects known constraints from string theory, is described, and its phenomenological and cosmological implications are discussed.
