The charged top-pion production associated with the bottom quark pair as a probe of the topcolor-assisted technicolor model at the LHC

Abstract

The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts the existence of the charged top-pions (${\pi }_t^{\pm }$), whose large couplings with the third generation fermions will induce the charged top-pion production associated with the bottom and anti-bottom quark pair at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) through the parton processes $c\bar{b}\to {\pi }_t^{+}b\bar{b}$ and $u\bar{d}(c\bar{s})\to {\pi }_t^{+}b\bar{b}$. In this paper we examine these productions and find that, due to the small Standard Model backgrounds, their production rates can exceed the $3\sigma$ sensitivity of the LHC in a large part of parameter space, so these processes may serve as a good probe for the TC2 model.
