Search for Technicolor Particles Produced in Association with a W Boson at CDF
We present a search for the technicolor particles {rho}{sub T} and {pi}{sub T} in the process p{bar p} {yields} {rho}{sub T} {yields} W{pi}{sub T} at a center of mass energy of {radical}s = 1.96 TeV. The search uses a data sample corresponding to approximately 1.9 fb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity accumulated by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The event signature we consider is W {yields} {ell}{nu} and {pi}{sub T} {yields} b{bar b}, b{bar c} or b{bar u} depending on the {pi}{sub T} charge. We select events with a single high-p{sub T} electron or muon, large missing transverse energy, and two jets. Jets corresponding to bottom quarks are identified with multiple b-tagging algorithms. The observed number of events and the invariant mass distributions are consistent with the standard model background expectations, and we exclude a region at 95% confidence level in the {rho}{sub T}-{pi}{sub T} mass plane. As a result, a large fraction of the region m({rho}{sub T}) = 180-250 GeV/c{sup 2} and m({pi}{sub T}) = 95-145 GeV/c{sup 2} is excluded.
