SUMMARY:A Stringy Mechanism for A Small Cosmological Constant - Sumitomo\,

DESCRIPTION:We propose a simple stringy mechanism that prefers metastable 
 vacua with a small cosmological constant. We argue the generic probability
  distribution for the metastable vacua which peaks with a divergent behavi
 or at the zero value of cosmological constant. Then we illustrate this in 
 a model of type IIB string theory\, though the suppression in the model is
  modest.\n
