Technihadron Production and Decay at LEP2

The simple ``straw--man'' model of low--scale technicolor contains light color--singlet technihadrons, which mix with the electroweak gauge bosons. We present lepton collider production rates at the parton level, and show that experiments at LEP2 may be sensitive to the presence of technir...

description The simple ``straw--man'' model of low--scale technicolor contains light color--singlet technihadrons, which mix with the electroweak gauge bosons. We present lepton collider production rates at the parton level, and show that experiments at LEP2 may be sensitive to the presence of technirho and techniomega states with masses 10-20 GeV beyond the center--of--mass energy because of the mixing. The exact sensitivity depends on several parameters, such as the technipion mass, the technipion mixing angle, and the charge of the technifermions. In an appendix, we describe the implementation of the model into the event generator PYTHIA for particle--level studies at lepton and hadron colliders.
