Klappentext
A systematic introduction to string phenomenology, outlining how string theory is connected to the real world of particle physics.


Zusammenfassung
Aimed at graduate students and researchers working in high energy physics, this book is a systematic introduction to string phenomenology. Focused on the detailed description of how string theory is connected to the real world of particle physics, it provides explicit models of physics beyond the Standard Model.
