SUMMARY:Exploring El Dorado with intersecting D6-branes\, Theory Semin
 ar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Wieland Staessens\, IFT\, Madrid
DESCRIPTION:Toroidal orbifolds represent the most fruitful and best un
 derstood backgrounds for string model building. When it comes to type 
 IIA intersecting D6-branes\, the most promising toroidal orbifold is u
 ndoubtedly T6/Z2xZ6 with discrete torsion. In this talk\, we will disc
 uss how to obtain on this background three generational chiral models 
 without unwanted exotic matter charged under the Standard Model gauge 
 group and present global supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Mod
 el. A second part of the talk will discuss deformations of the singula
 rities and their implications for the global models.<br>
