SUMMARY:Open string axions and the flavor problem - Berenstein\, D (Univer
 sity of California\, Santa Barbara)

DESCRIPTION:I will describe some bottom up models of particle physics insp
 ired by D-brane phenomenology that address aspects of the flavor problem. 
 I will argue that many of these models lead to an  axion arising from open
  string modes that sometimes falls within the allowed axion window. The ph
 enomenology of these axion models can rule out many models of physics beyo
 nd the standard model.  A satisfactory solution of the flavor problem seem
 s to produce models that deconstruct extra dimensions.\n\n\n
