Technicolor Enhancement of $t\bar{t}$ Production at TeV-Colliders

Abstract

It is shown that a technicolor theory containing a color-octet technipion, usually denoted by $P_8^{0^{\prime }}$, will give rise to an enhancement of $t\bar{t}$ production at the Tevatron, LHC and SSC, via the process $gg\to P_8^{0^{\prime }}\to t\bar{t}$. The relevant cross-sections are computed taking into account the large lower bound on the top mass coming from the "top search" experiments at LEP and CDF. At the LHC and SSC, the signal is found to be comparable to the QCD background, making the process quite accesible.
