Phenomenology of strong interactions: towards an effective theory for low energy QCD
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023 In this paper, we develop models applicable to phenomenological particle physics by using the string analogy of particles. These theories can be used to investigate the phenomenology of confinement, deconfinement, chiral condensate, QGP phase transitions,

Living Rev Relativ, 2010 The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

One-loop phenomenology in brane models [PDF]
, 2005 Particular examples of one-loop string effects are explored in the context of brane-based realizations of the Standard Model. We firstly examine the consequences of a phenomenon known as Kinetic Mixing, which couples hidden U(1) gauge factors to visible ...

Hidden Sectors from Multiple Line Bundles for the B−L$B-L$ MSSM
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 7-8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract We give a formalism for constructing hidden sector bundles as extensions of sums of line bundles in heterotic M‐theory. Although this construction is generic, we present it within the context of the specific Schoen threefold that leads to the physically realistic B−L$B-L$ MSSM model.

Evolving Heterotic Gauge Backgrounds: Genetic Algorithms versus Reinforcement Learning
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract The immensity of the string landscape and the difficulty of identifying solutions that match the observed features of particle physics have raised serious questions about the predictive power of string theory. Modern methods of optimisation and search can, however, significantly improve the prospects of constructing the standard model in ...

Quintessence and the Swampland: The Numerically Controlled Regime of Moduli Space
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract We provide a detailed discussion of the main theoretical and phenomenological challenges of quintessence model building in any numerically controlled regime of the moduli space of string theory. We argue that a working quintessence model requires a leading order non‐supersymmetric (near) Minkowski vacuum with an axionic flat direction.

String (Gravi)photons, “Dark Brane Photons”, Holography and the Hypercharge Portal
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 69, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021 Abstract The mixing of graviphotons and dark brane photons to the Standard Model hypercharge is analyzed in full generality, in weakly‐coupled string theory. Both the direct mixing as well as effective terms that provide mixing after inclusion of SM corrections are estimated to lowest order.

Cosmic necklaces in string theory and field theory [PDF]
, 2010 PhDIn this thesis we investigate astrophysical phenomena which arise in models with compact extra dimensions, focussing on the cosmological consequences of strings which wrap cycles in the internal space. Embedding our strings in the Klebanov-Strassler

On the Interpretation of Nonresonant Phenomena at Colliders
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 With null results in resonance searches at the LHC, the physics potential focus is now shifting towards the interpretation of nonresonant phenomena. An example of such shift is the increased popularity of the EFT programme. We can embark on such programme owing to the good integrated luminosity and an excellent understanding of the detectors, which ...

D-branes at Singularities and String Phenomenology
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2007 In these notes we give an introduction to some of the concepts involved in constructing SM-like gauge theories in systems of branes at singularities of CY manifolds. These notes are an expanded version of lectures given by Herman Verlinde at the Cargese 2006 Summer School.
