The Signatures of the Neutral Top-Pion at the NLC and the Tevatron in Topcolor-Assisted MWTC Model

The neutral top-pion π_t⁰ can couple to the gluons and the photons through the top quark triangle-loop. we calculate the corrections of the neutral top-pion π_t⁰ to the tt production cross section in topcolor-assisted multiscale walking technicolor model. We find that, for a heavy neutral top-pion, the corrections are quite significant. For m_t = 175 GeV, 5 GeV ≤ m_t¹ ≤ 20 GeV and M_πt = 350 GeV, the relative correction Δσ/σ₀ is larger than 10% which might be observed at a high-luminosity Tevatron. We further estimate the production cross section of π_t⁰ at the NLC experiment. We find that the production rate is significantly large. The neutral top-pion π_t⁰ may be detected in future e⁺e^- linear collider experiments.
