Recently it has been recognized that in compactified string/M theories that satisfy cosmological constraints, it is possible to derive some robust and generic predictions for particle physics and cosmology with very mild assumptions. When the matter and gauge content below the compactification scale is that of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), it is possible to make precise predictions. In this case, we predict that there will be a single standard model-like Higgs boson with a calculable mass 105 GeV ≲ Mh ≲ 129 GeV depending on tanβ (the ratio of the Higgs vevs in the MSSM). For tanβ > 7, the prediction is 122 GeV ≲ Mh ≲ 129 GeV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
