String/M theory has emerged as a broad framework for describing a plethora of diverse physical systems, which includes condensed matter systems, gravitational systems as well as elementary particle physics interactions. If string/M theory is to be considered as a candidate theory of Nature, it must contain an effectively four-dimensional universe among its solutions that is indistinguishable from our own. In these solutions, the extra dimensions of string/M theory are "compactified" on tiny scales which are often comparable to the Planck length. String phenomenology is the branch of string/M theory that studies such solutions, relates their properties to data, and aims to answer many of the outstanding questions of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. This book contains perspectives on string phenomenology from some of the leading experts in the field. Contributions will range from pedagogical general overviews and perspectives to more technical reviews. We hope that the reader will get a sense of the significant progress that has been made in the field in recent years (e.g. in the topic of moduli stabilization) as well as the topics currently being researched, outstanding problems and some perspectives for the future. 410 0$aAdvanced series on directions in high energy physics ;$vVolume 22. 606 $aString models 615 0$aString models. 676 $a539.7258 702 $aAcharya$b Bobby 702 $aKane$b Gordon L. 702 $aKumar$b Piyush 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688391103321 996 $aPerspectives on string phenomenology$92811899 997 $aUNINA
