Abstract

We propose that the 3.2 sigma excess at ~150 GeV in the dijet mass spectrum of W + jets reported by CDF is the technipion πT\pi_T of low-scale technicolor. Its relatively large cross section is due to production of a narrow WjjWjj resonance, the technirho, which decays to W + πT\pi_T. We discuss ways to enhance and strengthen the technicolor hypothesis and suggest companion searches at the Tevatron and LHC.
