Abstract
We investigate collider signals for gauged flavor symmetries that have been proposed in models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and fermion mass generation. We consider the limits on the masses of the gauge bosons i n these models which can be extracted from Fermilab Tevatron run I data in dijet production. Estimates of the run II search potential are provided. We show that the models also give rise to significant signals in single top q uark production which may be visible at run II. In particular we study chir al quark family symmetry and SU(9) chiral flavor symmetry. The run I limits on the gauge bosons in these models lie between 1.5 and 2 TeV and should i ncrease to about 3 TeV in run Il. Finally, we show that an SU(12) enlargeme nt of the SU(9) model, including leptonic interactions, is constrained by l ow energy atomic parity violation experiments to lie outside the reach of t he Tevatron.
