Abstract
CERN LEP I and LEP II data can be used to constrain technicolor models with light, neutral pseudo– Nambu-Goldstone bosons We use published limits on branching ratios and cross sections for final states with photons, large missing energy, jet pairs, or pairs to constrain the anomalous and couplings. From these results, we derive bounds on the size of the technicolor gauge group and the number of technifermion doublets in models such as low-scale technicolor.
