The remarkable recent discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN
Large Hadron Collider completed the Standard Model of particle
physics and has paved the way for understanding the physics which
may lie beyond it. 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.
