Manifestations of String Theory in Astrophysical Data and at the LHC

TL;DR

This paper explores how string theory can explain dark energy and dark matter, and proposes methods to detect string resonances at the LHC, integrating recent astrophysical and collider data.

Contribution

It introduces new string-inspired candidates for dark energy and dark matter and suggests experimental search strategies for string resonances at the LHC.

Findings

Proposed string-based models for dark energy and dark matter

Suggested experimental approaches for detecting string resonances

Connected string phenomenology with recent astrophysical and collider data

Abstract

With the advent of the LHC and the continuing influx of cosmological data, phenomenological aspects of string theory have received renewed attention in recent years and many problems have been properly incorporated in this framework. In this Dissertation, we suggest new string-related candidates for the origin of dark energy and dark matter and propose ways of searching for string resonances at the LHC.
