Testing technicolor with scalars at the first muon collider

摘要

An interesting class of models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking allows only the third generation fermions to acquire dynamical masses, such that the masses of the first two generations should be given by coupling to a nonstandard ''Higgs'' doublet. The scalars in this case have large couplings to the second generation, so that they are copiously produced at a muon collider. We analyze the potential for discovery of the neutral scalars in the s-channel, and we show that at resonance there will be observed in excess of 10(sup 5) events per year.
