    Abstract
    We have carried out numerical studies of vacuum alignment in technicolor models of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking. The goal is to understand alignment’s implications for strong and weak CP nonconservation in quark interactions. In this first part, we restrict our attention to the technifermion sector of simple models. We find several interesting phenomena, including (1) the possibility that all observable phases in the technifermions’ unitary vacuum–alignment matrix are integer multiples of π/N where N ≤ N, the number of technifermion doublets, and (2) the possibility of exceptionally light pseudoGoldstone technipions.

      Transverse spin diffusion in a dilute spin-polarized degenerate Fermi gas 

      Golosov, D. I.; Ruckenstein, A. E. (SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 1998-08-01)
      We re-examine the calculation of the transverse spin-diffusion coefficient in a dilute degenerate spin-polarized Fermi gas, for the case of s-wave scattering. The special feature of this limit is that the dependence of the ...

      I discuss production and detection at the Tevatron collider of pairs of light (MπT = 100–200GeV) color-singlet technipions that are expected in all nonminimal models of technicolor. Gluon fusion production rates can be as ...

      Natural topcolor-assisted technicolor 

      Lane, Kenneth; Eichten, Estia (Elsevier Science BV, 1995-06-15)
      We construct a prototype of topcolor-assisted technicolor in which, although both top and bottom quarks acquire some mass from extended technicolor, strong U(1) couplings of technifermions are isospin symmetric and all ...
