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 large as O(1 pb). Topcolor-assisted technicolor is required to prevent top quarks from decaying at t → πT^+b. An intriguing consequence of this is that the decays πT^+ → τ+ντ, and may also be suppressed so that πT^+ → W^+γ and πT^0 → γγ are significant. These modes have spectactular signatures at the Tevatron.

Transverse spin diffusion in a dilute spin-polarized degenerate Fermi gas
(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 ... -
Natural topcolor-assisted technicolor
(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 ... -
Technihadron production and decay in low-scale technicolor
(American Physical Society, 1999-10-01)We discuss the production and decay rates of the lightest colorsinglet technihadrons, spin-one ρT and ωT and spin-zero πT , in a minimal “straw-man” model of low-scale techicolor. The revised ρT and ωT decay rates affect ...
