Abstract
We discuss the possible signals of the degenerate BESS model at the LHC. Th is model describes a strongly interacting scenario responsible of the spont aneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry. It predicts two triplets of ex tra gauge bosons which are almost degenerate in mass. Due to this feature, the model has the properly of decoupling and therefore, at low energies (be low or of the order of 100 GeV) it is nearly indistinguishable from the Sta ndard Model. However the new resonances, both neutral and charged, should g ive quite spectacular signals at the LHC, where the c.o.m, energy will allo w to produce these gauge bosons directly.
