Aspects of the dynamics of walking technicolor models are expected to have important conszquences for technihadron production at hadron colliders. Hard-mass enhancements characteristic of walking technicolor raise technipion (n,) masses relative to technirho (p,) masses so that the decays pr--t'?T~'?T~ are either suppressed or forbidden altogether. Thus, p r can be unusually narrow with unconventional decay modes. Large weak isospin breaking in U-and D-technifermion masses (required for t-b splitting) leads to neutral p, and '?T, that are ideally mixed. Finally, multiscale models of walking technicolor in which the light-scale technifermions carry ordinary SU(3) color can have color-octet p,'s which are produced strongly in parton-parton collisions and are within reach of the Fermilab Tevatron. These would appear as narrow, well-separated pDD and pa, resonances in dijet production or in TTPT production with a limited number of final states. These expectations are illustrated in a multiscale model containing both techniquarks and technileptons at the light scale. Depending on assumptions that determine the fundamental chiral-symmetry-breaking mass parameters of the model, we find two generic phenomenologies: (A) p~~ with a mass of 20C250 GeV decaying exclusively to dijets and p,, in the mass range 350-550 GeV decaying to a few TTTT combinations; (B) pDD with a mass of 375425 GeV and p~, in the mass range 500-700 GeV both decaying to a few r~r~ modes. The p~, --tdijet signal of case A is large at all colliders and can be sought now at the Tevatron. The '~T,'?TT production rates in both cases are of -10 pb at the Tevatron and -10 nb at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The technipions can be sought in the next high-luminosity run of the Tevatron and may be excludable if backgrounds are not too severe. Experiments at the SSC certainly should be able to determine whether they exist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
