Phenomenology of composite technicolor standard models

We consider the phenomenology of composite technicolor standard models (CTSM’s). We estimate the CTSM contributions to weak neutral currents and CTSM corrections to the ρ parameter and Cabibbo universality. We show that current experimental limits on these CTSM corrections to the standard model constrain the compositeness scale and the flavor-symmetry structure of CTSM. We show that $B_d^0$-B¯ ${}_d{}^0{}_{}{}^{}$ mixing and the rate of the decay K→πνν¯ can differ significantly from the standard model and that CTSM effects in ${\mathit{e}}^{+}$ ${\mathit{e}}^{\mathrm{-}}$→${\mathrm{\mu }}^{+}$ ${\mathrm{\mu }}^{\mathrm{-}}$,${\mathrm{\tau }}^{+}$ ${\mathrm{\tau }}^{\mathrm{-}}$ should be observable in the nea future.
