In this paper we address the question: ``do the limits on technirho production at the Tevatron mean what we think they do ?'' These limits are based on calculations that rely on Vector Meson Dominance (VMD). VMD was invented in order to…

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…

A condensate, $\overline{t}t$, arising from $O(TeV)$ scale ``topcolor,'' in addition to technicolor (and ETC) may naturally explain the gauge hierarchy, the large top quark mass, and contains a rich system of testable consequences. A…

Topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts the existence of the top-pions and the CP-even top-Higgs with large flavor-changing couplings to the top quark, which at tree-level can mediate the top quark three-body decay t ->…

We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a W or Z boson and subsequent decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-antibottom quark pair. The data, originating from Fermilab Tevatron…

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…

We study the production and decays of top squarks (stops) at the Tevatron collider in models of low-energy supersymmetry breaking. We consider the case where the lightest Standard Model (SM) superpartner is a light neutralino that…

A supersymmetric model with four generations is proposed, in which the top quark is approximately degenerate in mass with the $W^{\pm}$ gauge boson, $m_t\simeq m_W$, leading to values of $R_b$ in better agreement with the present…

In supersymmetric models where the magnitude of the GUT scale gaugino mass parameter M_3 is suppressed relative to M_1 and M_2, the lightest neutralino can be a mixed higgsino-bino state with a thermal relic abundance in agreement with the…

A Higgs boson with mass below 150 GeV has a total decay width of less than 20 MeV into accessible Standard Model states. This narrow width means that the usual branching fractions for such a light Higgs boson are highly susceptible to any…

The theoretical status of Higgs boson production and decay at the Tevatron within the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension is reviewed. The focus will be on the evaluation of higher-order corrections to the production…

The top-pions($\Pi^{0,\pm}$) and the top-Higgs($H_{TC}$) are the typical particles predicted by the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model and the observation of these particles can be regarded as the direct evidence of the TC2 model. In…

We present a search for technicolor particles decaying into $b\bar b$, $b\bar c$ or $b\bar u$ and produced in association with $W$ bosons in $p\bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 1.96 \mathrm{TeV}$. The search uses approximately $1.9…

The t W- mode of single top production is proposed as an important means to study the weak interactions of the top quark. While the rate of this mode is most likely too small to be observed at Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron, it is expected…

Walking technicolor (WTC) models predict the existence of heavy neutral pseudo-Goldstone bosons (PGBs), whose masses are typically expected to be larger than 100 GeV. In this paper, we investigate the production and decay of these particles…

The lighter superpartner of the top quark ($\tt_1$) may be considerably lighter than squarks of the first two generations, and hence may be accessible to Tevatron collider searches, even if the other squarks and the gluino are too heavy.…
