Discovery Mass Reach for Topgluons Decaying to b anti-b at the Tevatron

Abstract

In topcolor assisted technicolor, topgluons are massive gluons which couple mainly to top and bottom quarks. We estimate the mass reach for topgluons decaying to b anti-b at the Tevatron as a function of integrated luminosity. The mass reach for topgluons decreases with increasing topgluon width, and is 0.77 - 0.95 TeV for Run II (2 fb^-1) and 1.0-1.2 TeV for TeV33 (30 fb^-1).Comment: 5 pages, 3 Figures, LaTex, macros epsf.sty, snowtimes.sty, and snow2e.cls.
