Abstract

It is shown that a technicolor theory containing a color-octet technipion, usually denoted by P80P^{0'}_{8}, will give rise to an enhancement of ttˉt \bar t production at the Tevatron, LHC and SSC, via the process ggP80ttˉgg \rightarrow P^{0'}_{8} \rightarrow t \bar t. The relevant cross-sections are computed taking into account the large lower bound on the top mass coming from the "top search" experiments at LEP and CDF. At the LHC and SSC, the signal is found to be comparable to the QCD background, making the process quite accesible.
