Abstract

We study the process W+WttˉW^+ W^- \to t \bar t in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction e+eννˉttˉe^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu t \bar t at an e+ee^+ e^- linear collider with 1.5 TeV center of mass energy. We also discuss how the lowest-lying resonances predicted by these models could be identified using top polarization observables.
