We present a search for technicolor particles decaying into b-bbar and produced in association with W bosons in p-pbar collisions at √s= 1.96 TeV. The search uses approximately 955 pb^-1 of the dataset accumulated in the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Events with an electron or muon, missing E_T and two jets, one of them b-tagged, are selected. In the case of exactly one vertex b-tag we apply a neural network filter to reject contamination from charm and light quark jets. The number of tagged events and the invariant mass distributions of W+2 jets and dijets are consistent with the Standard Model expectations. We set a 95% confidence level upper limit on the production cross section times branching ratio as a function of the technicolor particle masses.

Technicolor Signal and Cross Section in this analysis

Event selection and search strategies

Basic Event selection

Selection requirement
One tag w/ NNtag Double tag
Lepton central isolated electron or muon (Pt >20 GeV)
Missing Et > 25 GeV > 20 GeV
Jet (require exact two jet event) with
at least one b-tagging with silicon detector Et > 20 GeV, |&eta| < 2.0
Neural network b-tagging Apply Not apply

Serch strategies
One tag with NN tag events and double tag events are estimated separately due to take advantage of the S/N ratio in double tag. Finally the limit combined with each other is used as final results. The best result is given by combined likelihood because the expected limit between 1 tag and 2 tag are comparable.
