FINDING LOW-SCALE TECHNICOLOR AT HADRON COLLIDERS

In multiscale and topcolor-assisted models of walking technicolor, rel atively light spin-one technihadrons rho tau and omega tau exist and a re expected to decay as rho tau --> W pi tau, Z pi tau and omega tau - -> gamma pi tau. For M rho tau similar or equal to 200GeV and M pi tau similar or equal to 100 GeV, these processes have cross sections in t he picobarn range in (p) over bar p collisions at the Tevatron and abo ut 10 times larger at the Large Hadron Collider. We demonstrate their detectability with simulations appropriate to Run II conditions at the Tevatron. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
