Abstract
Within the context of the E~8~ × E~8~ heterotic superstring compactified on a smooth Calabi‐Yau threefold with an SU(4) gauge instanton, we show the existence of simple, realistic N = 1 supersymmetric vacua that are compatible with low energy particle physics. The observable sector of these vacua has gauge group SU(3)~C~ × SU(2)~L~ × U(1)~Y~ × U(1)~B‐L~, three families of quarks and leptons, each with an additional right‐handed neutrino, two Higgs‐Higgs conjugate pairs, a small number of uncharged moduli and no exotic matter.
