Technicolor at the Tevatron
Estia J. Eichten, Kenneth Lane, Adam Martin

TL;DR
This paper proposes that an observed excess in W+jets events at the Tevatron is due to technicolor particles, specifically technipions and technirho, and discusses experimental strategies to confirm this hypothesis.
Contribution
It introduces the technicolor interpretation of the Tevatron excess and suggests experimental searches to validate this new physics scenario.
Findings
Identification of the excess as technipion production
Prediction of a narrow Wjj resonance from technirho decay
Guidelines for future collider searches
Abstract
We propose that the 3.2 sigma excess at ~150 GeV in the dijet mass spectrum of W + jets reported by CDF is the technipion of low-scale technicolor. Its relatively large cross section is due to production of a narrow resonance, the technirho, which decays to W + . We discuss ways to enhance and strengthen the technicolor hypothesis and suggest companion searches at the Tevatron and LHC.
