Abstract

We consider the contribution of new strongly interacting sector, with a characteristic scale of half a TeV, to top quark production at the Tevatron. The color-octet, isosinglet analog of the ρ meson in this theory is produced copiously in hadron colliders. If the mass of this resonance is less than twice the mass of the lightest pseudo-Goldstone bosons, then an important decay mode could be to the color-octet analog of the η and a gluon. The subsequent decay of this η into gives rise to top quark events with a hard gluon.
