Any Room Left for Technicolor? Dilepton Searches at the LHC and Beyond
Abstract
Precision electroweak data, a light higgs and LHC searches for new spin one particles are all very constraining on technicolor models. We use a holographic model of walking techicolor (WTC) gauge dynamics, tuned to produce a light higgs and low parameter, to estimate the range of possible vector() and pseudo-vector() resonance masses and couplings as a function of the number of colours and the number of flavours of techni-singlet and techni-doublet quarks. The resulting models predict techni-hadron masses and couplings above the current limits from dilepton resonance searches at the LHC because their masses are enhanced by the strong coupling extending into the multi-TeV range, while couplings to Standard Model fermions are partly suppressed. The models emphasize the contortions needed to continue to realize technicolor, {the need to explore new signatures beyond dilepton for LHC and also motivate a 100 TeV proton collider.
