In this paper, we systematically study the contribution of the TC2 model to the single t-quark production at the Hadron colliders, specially at the LHC. The TC2 model can contribute to the cross section of the single t-quark production in two different ways. First, the existence of the top-pions and top-higgs can modify the $Wtb$ coupling via their loop contributions, and such modification can cause the correction to the cross sections of all three production modes. Our study shows that this kind of correction is negative and very small in all cases. Thus it is difficult to observe such correction even at the LHC. On the other hand, there exist the tree-level FC couplings in the TC2 model which can also contribute to the cross sections of the $tq$ and $tbar{b}$ production processes. The resonant effect can greatly enhance the cross sections of the $tq$ and $tbar{b}$ productions. The first evidence of the single t-quark production has been reported by the $D0$ collaboration and the measured cross section for the single t-quark production of $sigma(pbar{p}to tb+X,tqb+X)$ is compatible at the 10% level with the standard model prediction. Because the light top-pion can make great contribution to the $tbar{b}$ production, the top-pion mass should be very large in order to make the predicted cross section in the TC2 model be consistent with the Tevatron experiments. More detailed information about the top-pion mass and the FC couplings in the TC2 model should be obtained with the running of the LHC.

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) model, there exist tree-level flavor-changing (FC) couplings which can result in the loop-level FC coupling $tcg$. Such $tcg$ coupling can contribute significant clues at the forthcoming Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. In this paper, based on the TC2 model, we study some single t-quark production processes involving $tcg$ coupling at the Tevatron and LHC: $pp(pbar{p})to tbar{q}(q=u,d,s),tg$. We calculate the cross sections of these processes. The results show that the cross sections at the Tevatron are too small to observe the signal, but at the LHC it can reach a few pb. With the high luminosity, the LHC has considerable capability to find the single t-quark signal produced via some FC processes involving coupling $tcg$. On the other hand, these processes can also provide some valuable information of the coupling $tcg$ with detailed study of the processes and furthermore provide the reliable evidence to test the TC2 model.
In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor model we calculate the contributions from the pseudo Goldstone bosons and new gauge bosons to $e^+e^- to tbar{t}$. We find that, for reasonable ranges of the parameters, the pseudo Goldstone bosons afford dominate contribution, the correction arising from new gauge bosons is negligibly small, the maximum of the relative corrections is -10% with the center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=500$ GeV; whereas in case of $sqrt{s}=1500$ GeV, the relative corrections could be up to 16%. Thus large new physics might be observable at the experiments of next-generation linear colliders.
In multiscale and topcolor-assisted models of walking technicolor, relatively light spin-one technihadrons $rho_T$ and $omega_T$ exist and are expected to decay as $rho_T to W pi_T, Z pi_T$ and $omega_T to gamma pi_T$. For $M_{rho_T} simeq 200 GeV$ and $M_{pi_T} simeq 100 GeV$, these processes have cross sections in the picobarn range in $bar p p$ colisions at the Tevatron and about 10 times larger at the Large Hadron Collider. We demonstrate their detectability with simulations appropriate to Run II conditions at the Tevatron.
We consider QCD tbar{t}gamma and tbar{t}Z production at hadron colliders as a tool to measure the ttgamma and ttZ couplings. At the Tevatron it may be possible to perform a first, albeit not very precise, test of the ttgamma vector and axial vector couplings in tbar{t}gamma production, provided that more than 5 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity are accumulated. The tbar{t}Z cross section at the Tevatron is too small to be observable. At the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it will be possible to probe the ttgamma couplings at the few percent level, which approaches the precision which one hopes to achieve with a next-generation e^+e^- linear collider. The LHCs capability of associated QCD tbar{t}V (V=gamma, Z) production has the added advantage that the ttgamma and ttZ couplings are not entangled. For an integrated luminosity of 300 fb^{-1}, the ttZ vector (axial vector) coupling can be determined with an uncertainty of 45-85% (15-20%), whereas the dimension-five dipole form factors can be measured with a precision of 50-55%. The achievable limits improve typically by a factor of 2-3 for the luminosity-upgraded (3 ab^{-1}) LHC.
We investigate heavy-quark production as a function of the rapidity interval between two heavy quarks in hadronic collisions. We compare the results relevant to bottom production at the Tevatron and at LHC, obtained using exact leading-order and NLO pQCD production, as well as the contribution of the 4b channel with and without the addition of BFKL gluon radiation.
