    Abstract
    In multiscale models of walking technicolor, relatively light color-singlet technipions are produced in annihilation in association with longitudinal W and Z bosons and with each other. The technipions decay as 𝜋T^0 ⟶ bb and 𝜋T^+ ⟶ cb. Their production rates are resonantly enhanced by isovector technirho vector mesons with mass Mw + MπT ≲ MϱT ≲ 2MπT. At the Tevatron, these associated production rates are 1–10 picobarns for M𝜋T ≲ 100 GeV . Such a low mass technipion requires topcolor-assisted technicolor to suppress the decay t → πT^+b. Searches for πTπT production will also be rewarding. Sizable rates are expected if MϱT≳ 2MπT + 10 GeV. The isoscalar ωT is nearly degenerate with ϱT and is expected to be produced at roughly the same rate. The ωT should have the distinctive decay modes ωT → γπT^0 and ZπT^0.

      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 ...

      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 ...
