Millions of Standard Models on Z6-prime?

Gmeiner, Florian, Honecker, Gabriele

Understand

Using previous results on the statistics of intersecting D6-brane models on T^6/Z_6' we analyse solutions that resemble the gauge group and matter content of the supersymmetric standard model.

  • In particular the structure of the hidden sector, the gauge coupling constants and chiral exotic matter content are computed and classified for all possible standard model-like configurations on this background.
  • It turns out that the number of chiral exotics, Higgses and values of gauge couplings are strongly correlated.
  • Some examples with the chiral spectrum of the supersymmetric standard model plus vector-like states and a massless U(1) B-L are discussed in detail.
