Electroweak and Flavor Dynamics at Hadron Colliders--I

Abstract

This is the first of two reports cataloging the principal signatures of electroweak and flavor dynamics at $\pbarp$ and $pp$ colliders. Here, we discuss some of the signatures of dynamical elecroweak and flavor symmetry breaking. The framework for dynamical symmetry breaking we assume is technicolor, with a walking coupling $α_{TC}$, and extended technicolor. The reactions discussed occur mainly at subprocess energies $\sqrt{\hat s} \simle 1 TeV$. They include production of color-singlet and octet technirhos and their decay into pairs of technipions, longitudinal weak bosons, or jets. Technipions, in turn, decay predominantly into heavy fermions. This report will appear in the Proceedings of the 1996 DPF/DPB Summer Study on New Directions for High Energy Physics (Snowmass 96).
