Abstract

An analysis of a special class of type II string theory compactifications is presented. We focus on recent work in one particular orientifold background of intersecting brane models and the resulting four dimensional gauge group and matter content. Special attention is paid to solutions that resemble the gauge group of the MSSM. Statistical correlations between properties of the models are analysed and compared to results on different backgrounds.
