Search for Low-Scale Technicolor in ATLAS

The low scale technicolor is an appealing scenario of strong ewsb. It has a rich phenomenology which can be tested at the LHC. A very characteristic signal would involve the observation of a technipion in resonance with a Standard Model gauge boson. A fast simulation analysis of the process $p p \to \rho_{T}^{\pm} \to \pi_{T}^{\pm} Z \to bj \ell\ell$ and $p p \to a_{T}^{\pm} \to \pi_{T}^\pm Z \to bj \ell\ell$ for three representative sets of masses for the new particles suggests that the technirho and technipion could be observed with $\sim 15$ fb$^{-1}$, and that the $a_{T}$ could be observed simultaneously with the $\rho_{T}$ and $\pi_{T}$ within a year or more of running at the LHC.
