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 $\pi_T$ of low-scale technicolor. Its relatively large cross section is due to production of a narrow $Wjj$ resonance, the technirho, which decays to W + $\pi_T$. We discuss ways to enhance and strengthen the technicolor hypothesis and suggest companion searches at the Tevatron and LHC.

Testing the technicolor interpretation of the CDF dijet excess at the 8-TeV LHC
Under the assumption that the dijet excess seen by the CDF Collaboration near 150 Gev in Wjj production is due to the lightest technipion of the low-scale technicolor process $$\rho_T \rightarrow W… Expand

Weak-triplet, color-octet scalars and the CDF dijet excess
We extend the standard model to include a weak-triplet and color-octet scalar. This 'octo-triplet' field consists of three particles, two charged and one neutral, whose masses and renormalizable… Expand
Search for Technicolor with the ATLAS experiment. Tool development and performance study of the ATLAS Liquid Argon Calorimeter
In 2011 the LHC has provided almost 5 fb-1 of data to the experiments. These data have been used to perform a deep commissioning of the detectors, understand the performances of the detector and… Expand
Novel ideas about emergent vacua
Arguments for special emergent vacua which generate fermion and weak boson masses are outlined. Limitations and consequences of the concept are discussed. If confirmed the Australian dipole would… Expand
New Particle Physics Predicted by TGD: Part II
TGD predicts a lot of new physics and it is quite possible that this new physics becomes visible at LHC. Although the calculational formalism is still lacking, p-adic length scale hypothesis allows… Expand
