Abstract
String theory has no parameter except the string scale, so a dynamically compactified solution to 4 dimensional spacetime should determine both the Planck scale and the cosmological constant . In the racetrack K\"ahler uplift flux compactification model in Type IIB theory, where the string theory landscape is generated by scanning over discrete values of all the flux parameters, a statistical preference for an exponentially small is found to be natural (arXiv:1305.0753). Within this framework and matching the median value to the observed , a mass scale GeV naturally appears. We explain how the electroweak scale can be identified with this mass scale.
