Foreword

The 6th edition of the String Phenomenology Conference will take place at the INFN Frascati National Laboratories, Frascati (Rome), Italy, on June 4-8 2007. The Conference Venue is the 'Bruno Touschek Lecture Hall', inside the INFN Frascati National Laboratories.

Structure and target of the Conference

Phenomenological aspects of String Theory have received renewed attention in recent years and many problems like hierarchy, supersymmetry breaking and electroweak symmetry breaking, gauge coupling unification, inflation, neutrino physics, dark matter, baryogenesis and flavour physics, have been properly incorporated in this framework. On the purely theoretical side, explorations of the space of string vacua (the "landscape"), and in particular of flux compactifications and intersecting brane world scenarios, provide a bridge between theory and phenomenology and are waiting for tests in the near future (for instance at the CERN LHC). Together with data from cosmology, they have the potential to drive new and important discoveries in the forthcoming years.
The conference aim at bringing together experts in String Theory, Particle Physics, Cosmology and Mathematical Physics, thus providing an occasion of very fruitful interactions that can spur significant steps forward in all these fields.
