Five Golden Rules for Superstring Phenomenology
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements of the values of gauge coupling constants as well as neutrino properties support the idea of a grand unified (GUT) description of particle physics at a large scale of MGUT ∼ 10 16 GeV. We discuss a strategy to incorporate this picture in the framework of superstring theory. In such a scheme successful predictions of GUTs can be realized while some of the more problematic aspects of grand unification might be avoided. The most promising models are expected in the framework of the heterotic E8 × E8 string theory.

These five lectures give an elementary introduction to perturbative superstring theory, superstring phenomenology, and the fermionic construction of perturbative string models. These lectures assume no prior knowledge of string theory.
متن کاملSuperstring Phenomenology Present–and–Future Perspective
The objective of superstring phenomenology is to develop the models and methodology needed to connect quantitatively between Planck scale physics and electroweak scale experimental data. I review the present status of this endeavor with a focus on the three generation free fermionic models.

I give a brief survey of the current status of superstring phenomenology, with an emphasis on the (currently unrealized) possibility of obtaining model-independent results.
متن کاملNew Low - Energy Realization of The Superstring - Inspired E 6 Model
The superstring-inspired E 6 model is reduced to the supersymmetric standard model extended by a specific U(1) factor. This choice allows for the existence of naturally light singlet neutrinos which also mix with ν e , ν µ , and ν τ , thus making it possible to accommodate all present neutrino data. Other consequences of this model are also discussed: oblique corrections from Z-Z' mixing, pheno...

We briefly discuss the status of three-family grand unified string models. The outstanding question of string theory is whether it describes our universe. This question turns out to be very difficult to answer as the space of classical string vacua has a very large degeneracy, and there lack objective criteria that would select a particular string vacuum among the numerous possibilities. One mi...
