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…
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 $\tpiz \ra b…
We discuss the phenomenology of the lightest SU(3)_C singlet and non-singlet technihadrons in the Straw Man Model of low-scale technicolor (TCSM). The technihadrons are assumed to be those arising in topcolor--assisted technicolor models in…
CDF and D0 each have more than 1 inverse femtobarn of data on tape, and their stores are increasing. This should be sufficient to carry out significant searches for low-scale technicolor in rho_T --> W pi_T and omega_T, rho_T --> gamma…
The Tevatron experiments CDF and DO are close to making definitive statements about the technicolor discovery mode rho_T -> W pi_T for M(rho_T) <~ 230 GeV and M(pi_T) <~ 125 GeV. We propose new incisive tests for this mode and searches for…
In modern technicolor models, there exist very narrow spin-zero and spin-one neutral technihadrons---$pi^0_T$, $rho^0_T$ and $omega_T$---with masses of a few 100 GeV. The large coupling of $\pi^0_T$ to $\mu^+\mu^-$, the direct coupling of…
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…
In addition to the narrow spin-one resonances $\rho_T$, $\omega_T$ and $a_T$ occurring in low-scale technicolor, there will be relatively narrow scalars in the mass range 200 to 600--700 GeV. We study the lightest isoscalar state,…
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 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 perform a detailed study of the process of single color octet isoscalar $\eta_T$ production at the Tevatron with $\eta_T \to \gamma + g$ decay signature, including a complete simulation of signal and background processes. We determined a…
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…

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…
