Technihadron production and decay in low-scale technicolor

We discuss the production and decay rates of the lightest color-singlet technihadrons, spin-one ${\rho }_T$ and ${\omega }_T$ and spin-zero ${\pi }_T,$ in a minimal “straw-man” model of low-scale technicolor. Because of walking technicolor enhancements of technipion masses, the decay channels ${\rho }_T\to {\pi }_T{\pi }_T$ and ${\omega }_T\to {\pi }_T{\pi }_T{\pi }_T$ are likely to be closed. The largest decay modes then are ${\rho }_T\to W{\pi }_T,\gamma {\pi }_T$ and ${\omega }_T\to \gamma {\pi }_T,$ while ${\rho }_T,$ ${\omega }_T\to l^{+}{l}^{-}$ offer low-rate but very clear signatures. The revised ${\rho }_T$ and ${\omega }_T$ decay rates to $\gamma {\pi }_T$ presented here affect the technicolor searches planned for run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
