Description
"I give an overview of the large volume scenario for moduli stabilisation in string theory. I describe how the volume is stabilised exponentially large generating a hierarchically small susy breaking scale. I show how the weak, axionic and neutrino mass scales can be related in a phenomenologically appealing fashion and discuss applications to cosmology and astroparticle physics."
