    Description
    String phenomenology traditionally takes a top-down approach, that is, one aims to find a complete model from the TeV scale up to the Planck scale in a single stroke. Fractional branes at singularities, however, allow for a bottom-up approach which is closer to conventional phenomenology. We will discuss some of the philosophy and technology associated to this scenario, and apply it to construct a local realization of the MSSM.
