Title: Vacuum Energy Cancellation in a Non-supersymmetric String

Journal Article · · Physical Review D
OSTI ID:834917

We present a nonsupersymmetric orbifold of type II string theory and show that it has vanishing cosmological constant at the one and two loop level. We argue heuristically that the cancellation may persist at higher loops.
