Recently, Hill has proposed a model in which new, potentially low-energy, top-color interactions produce a top-condensate ({\em a la} Nambu---Jona-Lasinio) and accommodate a heavy top quark, while technicolor is responsible for producing…
Inclusive bottomonium hadroproduction at the Tevatron is firstly examined in a Monte Carlo framework with the colour-octet mechanism implemented in the event generation. We extract some NRQCD colour-octet matrix elements relevant for…
Light techni-fermions and pseudo Goldstone bosons that contribute to the electroweak radiative correction parameters V,W and X may relax the constraints on technicolour models from the experimental values of the parameters S and T. Order of…
The almost conformal dynamics of walking technicolor (TC) implies the existence of the approximate scale invariance, which breaks down spontaneously by the condensation of anti-techni and techni-fermions. According to the Goldstone theorem,…
Walking technicolor, having a large anomalous dimension $\gamma_m \simeq 1$ and approximate scale symmetry, predicts Technidilaton, a light composite Higgs as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of the approximate scale symmetry, which can be…
We show that the usual vector meson dominance method does not apply directly to the mixing of a color-octet vector boson (color-octet technirho) with the gluon because of gauge invariance. We propose a gauge invariant method where one works…
We estimate the correction to the Zbb-bar vertex arising from the exchanges of the sideways extended technicolor (ETC) boson and the flavor-diagonal ETC boson in the multiscale walking technicolor model. The obtained result is too large to…
The recently observed boson at 125 GeV could be a light composite scalar from near-conformal technicolor dynamics: a technicolor Higgs. If this is the case, unitarization of longitudinal weak boson scattering amplitudes, which is due to…
A slowly running technicolor coupling will affect the size of non-oblique corrections to the $Zb\bar b$ vertex from extended technicolor dynamics. We show that while ``walking technicolor'' reduces the magnitude of the corrections, they…
Recent results obtained by the CDF and D0 collaborations are presented here. These Tevatron Higgs searches look for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson decaying into W-boson pairs, with the W-bosons decaying into electron-neutrino or muon…
A flavor-universal extension of the strong interactions was recently proposed in response to the apparent excess of high-$E_T$ jets in the inclusive jet spectrum measured at the Tevatron. This paper studies the color octet of massive gauge…
Walking technicolor predicts a light composite scalar, techni-dilaton, arising as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson for the approximate scale symmetry spontaneously broken by techni-fermion condensation. We show that a light techni-dilaton…
We present a summary of recent WW, WZ, and ZZ measurements carried out in $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV at the Tevatron. The observation of rare ZZ events and the precise measurement of the WW cross section in fully leptonic decay modes are…
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…
The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts several pseudo-scalars called top-pions and at loop level they can induce the FCNC top quark decay t->cgg which is extremely suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). We find that in the…
In this report a new search for a narrow-width heavy resonance decaying into top quark pairs (X -> ttbar) in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV has been performed using data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.…
We calculate the contributions to the rare decays $B \to X_{s,d} \nu \bar \nu$ and $B_{s,d} \to l^+l^-$ from one-loop $Z^0$-penguin diagrams in the framework of Topcolor-assisted Technicolor Model. Within the parameter space, we find that:…
Resonant production of a light, narrow techni-rho, followed by the decay $\rho_T \rightarrow W+\pi_T(jj)$ has been proposed as an explanation of the Wjj excess observed by CDF. If the $\pi_T$ decays to $\tau+\nu/\tau^+ \tau^-$ rather than…
We present a study of rates and kinematical properties of lepton pairs contained in central jets with transverse energy E_T > 15 GeV that are produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We compare the data to a QCD prediction based on the…
We consider a minimal technicolour theory with two techniflavours in the adjoint representation of an SU(2) technicolour gauge group which has been argued to feature walking dynamics. We show how to naturally embed this theory in an…
