Phenomenological Survey of a Minimal Superstring Standard Model

We discuss a heterotic-string solution in which the observable sector effective field theory just below the string scale reduces to that of the MSSM, with the standard observable gauge group being just SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y and the SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y-charged spectrum of the observable sector consisting solely of the MSSM spectrum. Associated with this model is a set of distinct flat directions of vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of fields that all produce solely the MSSM spectrum. Some of these directions only involve VEVs of non-Abelian singlet fields while others also contain VEVs of non-Abelian charged fields.
