We present hadron collider production rates for the lightest color-singlet technihadrons in a simple ``straw-man'' model of low-scale technicolor. These rates are presented in a way to facilitate their encoding in PYTHIA. This document is a…
In multiscale and topcolor-assisted models of walking technicolor, relatively light spin-one technihadrons $\rho_T$ and $\omega_T$ exist and are expected to decay as $\rho_T \to W \pi_T, Z \pi_T$ and $\omega_T \to \gamma \pi_T$. For…
The simple "straw-man" model of low-scale technicolor contains light color--singlet technihadrons, which mix with the electroweak gauge bosons. We present lepton collider production rates at the parton level, and show that experiments at…

We discuss the production and decay rates of the lightest color-singlet technihadrons, spin-one rho_T and omega_T and spin-zero pi_T, in a minimal ``straw-man'' model of low-scale techicolor. The revised rho_T and omega_T decay rates affect…
We consider the detection of the technirho in technicolor models that include a weak scalar doublet. In these models, the scalar develops a vacuum expectation value when the technifermions condense, and fermion masses are generated through…
I discuss production and detection at the Tevatron $\pbarp$ collider of pairs of light ($\mpi = 100$--$200\,\gev$) color--singlet technipions that are expected in all nonminimal models of technicolor. Gluon fusion production rates can be as…
In this paper we study the phenomenology of color-octet and color-singlet scalars in the flavorful Top-Coloron model. We discuss the relevant production mechanisms at hadron colliders and the dominant decay modes, highlighting the most…
Strategies are presented for discovering light, color-singlet technipions (pi_T) produced in association with a vector boson through s-channel technirho production, at the Tevatron and LHC. Signal and W+jets background were simulated…
We investigate the contribution of technicolor mechanisms to the production of single top quarks at hadron colliders. Technipions with mass larger than the top mass will decay predominantly to a top quark plus a bottom antiquark. We…
It is shown that a technicolor theory containing a color-octet technipion, usually denoted by $P^{0'}_{8}$, will give rise to an enhancement of $t \bar t$ production at the Tevatron, LHC and SSC, via the process $gg \rightarrow P^{0'}_{8}…
We investigate the contribution of technicolor mechanisms to the production of single top quarks at hadron colliders. We find that a promising candidate process is gluon-gluon fusion to produce a W-boson plus technipion, with subsequent…

In multiscale models of walking technicolor, relatively light color-singlet technipions are produced in $q \ol q$ annihilation in association with longitudinal $W$ and $Z$ bosons and with each other. The technipions decay as $\tpiz \ra b…
Topcolor--assisted technicolor provides a dynamical explanation for electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking and for the large mass of the top quark without unnatural fine tuning. A major challenge is to generate the observed mixing between…
For an attractive class of dynamical symmetry breaking (technicolor) models, the lightest neutral pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson ($\pzero$) contains only down-type techniquarks and charged technileptons. We discuss the prospects for…
We present an effective Lagrangian for low-scale technicolor. It describes the interactions at energies near the mass of the lowest-lying bound states of the lightest technifermion doublet -- the spin-one $\rho_T,\omega_T, a_T, f_T$ and the…
We summarize results of the 1996 Snowmass workshop on future prospects for discovering dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, compositeness, and anomalous couplings of quarks at colliders. We present the mass reach of the Tevatron to a…
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 $\pi_T$ of low-scale technicolor. Its relatively large cross section is due to production of a narrow $Wjj$ resonance,…
In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in minimal supersymmetric models endowed with a global continuous $R$ symmetry. We systematically catalog the significant decay channels of scalar and…
