Description
Supersymmetry breaking is a crucial ingredient of the picture centered around String Theory, and yet it brings along puzzles and difficulties that touch upon the foundations of the subject and remain largely unresolved. I shall provide an account of these facts before focussing on "brane supersymmetry breaking", a peculiar option afforded by models with open sectors. I shall also try, nonetheless, to draw from these systems some clues, and I shall discuss some ongoing comparisons with experiments.
