Identification of viable de Sitter vacua

Models with TeV-scale SUSY particles

Successful analytical and numerical approaches

Abstract

We search for phenomenologically viable vacua of IIB string flux compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds with a single Kaehler modulus. We perform both analytic studies and numerical searches in order to find models with de Sitter vacua and TeV-scale SUSY particle phenomenology.
