Finding Low-Scale Technicolor at Hadron Colliders

Abstract

In multiscale and topcolor-assisted models of walking technicolor, relatively light spin-one technihadrons $\rho_T$ and $\omega_T$ exist and are expected to decay as $\rho_T \to W \pi_T, Z \pi_T$ and $\omega_T \to \gamma \pi_T$. For $M_{\rho_T} \simeq 200 GeV$ and $M_{\pi_T} \simeq 100 GeV$, these processes have cross sections in the picobarn range in $\bar p p$ colisions at the Tevatron and about 10 times larger at the Large Hadron Collider. We demonstrate their detectability with simulations appropriate to Run II conditions at the Tevatron.
