We construct a prototype of topcolor--assisted technicolor in which, although both top and bottom quarks acquire some mass from extended technicolor, strong $U(1)$ couplings of technifermions are isospin symmetric and all gauge anomalies…
Current LEP data on rare $Z$ decays constrain nonminimal technicolor models that contain light neutral pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons ($P^a$). We discuss the production and decay of such particles, and show how LEP data on…
