Abstract

We study the possible production of the $\rho$-resonance from the Strong Electroweak Symmetry Breaking sector at LHC. Due to possibly enhanced couplings of $\rho$ to the top and bottom quarks we focus on the process pp -> b \bar{b} t \bar{t} where either b \bar{b} or t \bar{t} are the products of the $\rho$ decay.
