Abstract
We extend the promising heterotic string searches for MSSMlike models to mathbbZ 8 orbifolds There exist five inequivalent mathbbZ 8 toroidal orbifolds distinguished by two types of twists that act on five different torus lattices one of which cannot be represented as a Liealgebra root lattice Contrary to previous investigations we study the consequences of the different underlying orbifold torus lattices Therefore rather than focussing on one particular geometry we perform systematic model searches on these five mathbbZ 8 orbifolds simultaneously taking all possible inequivalent SU5 and SO10 gauge shifts as our starting point We present cumulative tables and figures comparing the chiral SM and vectorlike exotic spectra on these geometries
