A Heavy Top Quark From Flavor-Universal Colorons, Marko Popovic, Elizabeth Simmons

Marko B. Popovic

Ordinary technicolor and extended technicolor cannot produce the heavy top quark unaided. We demonstrate that a flavor-universal extension of the color interactions combined with an extended hypercharge sector that singles out the third generation can provide the necessary assistance. We discuss current experimental constraints and suggest how collider experiments can search for the predicted new heavy gauge bosons.
