Abstract: We consider five dimensional (5D) supersymmetric SO(10) compactified on the orbifold S1/(Z2imesZ2) such that the SO(10) gauge symmetry is broken on both fixed points (branes), and the residual gauge symmetry is SU(3)cimesSU(2)LimesU(1)YimesU(1)X. We explore one example in which the gauge symmetries on the two branes are respectively SU(5)imesU(1)X and SU(4)cimesSU(2)LimesSU(2)R, and the MSSM gauge symmetry is recovered by the usual Higgs mechanism. We discuss how fermion masses and mixings can be understood in this framework by introducing a flavor U(1)F symmetry. Unification of the MSSM gauge couplings and proton stability are also considered. An order of magnitude increase in sensitivity could reveal proton decay.
