Description

Recent progress in the statistical analysis of string theory vacua is summarised. In particular the classification of compactifications in type II orientifolds using intersecting brane constructions on different orbifold backgrounds is discussed. Results of this analysis include frequency distributions of gauge groups and chiral matter. Special attention is payed to models that contain the gauge group and the chiral matter of the MSSM.
