TY - CHAP AU - Buchmuller, Wilfried AU - Louis, Jan TI - Particle Physics from String Compactifications CY - Hamburg PB - Verlag Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron M1 - PUBDB-2018-03585 SN - 9783945931219 SP - 3-18 PY - 2018 AB - We briefly review the work carried out in project A1 of the SFB 676. This includes in particular string compactifications to vacua containing the Standard Model. We compare heterotic compactifications with F-theory, and we mention a number of technical developments. Motivated by string compactifications, several aspects of six-dimensional field theories are described, which shed some light on supersymmetry breaking, moduli stabilization and the little hierarchy problem. We highlight some virtues of flux compactifications and conclude with a brief discussion of LHC phenomenology.
