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…
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…
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…
In the context of topcolor assisted technicolor(TC2) models, we study the production of the top-pions $\pi_{t}^{0,\pm}$ with single top quark via the processes $p\bar{p} \to t\pi_{t}^{0}+X$ and $p\bar{p} \to t\pi_{t}^{\pm}+X$, and discuss…
Conventional technicolor models with light charged technipions ($\pi ^{\pm} _T$) lead to an unacceptably large contribution to $t\ra {\pi ^+_T} b$ decay rate. Topcolor-assisted technicolor models also have additional PGBs called top-pions…
Pair-production of heavy top quarks at the Tevatron Collider is significantly enhanced by the color--octet technipion, $\eta_T$, occurring in multiscale models of walking technicolor. We discuss $\bar tt$ rates for $m_t = 170$ GeV and…
In multiscale and topcolor-assisted models of walking technicolor, light, spin-one technihadrons can exist with masses of a few hundred GeV; they are expected to decay as rho_T -> W pi_T. For technirho masses ~200 GeV and technipion masses…
We investigate the associated production of a neutral physical pion with top quarks in the context of topcolor assisted technicolor. We find that single-top associated production does not yield viable rates at either the Tevatron or LHC.…
We study the constraints on models of topcolor-assisted technicolor arising from measurements of high-$E_T$ jets and high-mass lepton pairs at the Tevatron collider. Existing data can eliminate models that have appeared in the literature.
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…
We discuss the phenomenology of the lightest SU(3)_C singlet and non-singlet technihadrons in the Straw Man Model of low-scale technicolor (TCSM). The technihadrons are assumed to be those arising in topcolor--assisted technicolor models in…
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…
Pseudo-Goldstone boson contributions to $t\bar{t}$ production rates in technicolor models with and without topcolor at the $\sqrt{s}=0.5 and 1.5$ TeV photon colliders and hadron colliders are reviewed. For reasonable ranges of the…
We study the contributions of the neutral pseudo Goldstone bosons (technipions and top-pions) to the t anti-t production cross sections at the Tevatron and the LHC in topcolor-assisted multiscale technicolor (TOPCMTC) models via the…
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…
The Tevatron experiments CDF and DO are close to making definitive statements about the technicolor discovery mode rho_T -> W pi_T for M(rho_T) <~ 230 GeV and M(pi_T) <~ 125 GeV. We propose new incisive tests for this mode and searches for…
In the topcolor-assistant technicolor (TC2) model, the typical physical particles, top-pions and top-Higgs, are predicted and the existence of these particles could be regarded as the robust evidence of the model. These particles are…
We study the single top quark production process in various kinds of technicolor models in high energy positron photon collisions at the future electron positron linear colliders. It is shown that if there is certain charged pseudo…
We show that studying the single top quark production via the $W$--gluon fusion process can provide unique information on: (i) the measurement of the decay width $\width$; (ii) probing the symmetry breaking mechanism by measuring the form…
We consider the contribution of new strongly interacting sector, with a characteristic scale of half a TeV, to top quark production at the Tevatron. The color-octet, isosinglet analog of the $\rho$ meson in this theory is produced copiously…
