We formulate a scale-invariant hidden local symmetry (HLS) as a low-energy effective theory of walking technicolor (WTC) which includes the technidilaton, technipions, and technirho mesons as the low-lying spectra. As a benchmark for LHC phenomenology, we in particular focus on the one-family model of WTC having eight technifermion flavors, which can be, at energy scales relevant to the reach of the LHC, described by the scale-invariant HLS based on the manifold $[SU(8)_L times SU(8)_R]_{rm global} times SU(8)_{rm local}/SU(8)_V$, where $SU(8)_{rm local}$ is the HLS and the global $SU(8)_L times SU(8)_R$ symmetry is partially gauged by $SU(3) times SU(2)_L times U(1)_Y$ of the standard model. Based on the scale-invariant HLS, we evaluate the coupling properties of the technirho mesons and place limits on the masses from the current LHC data. Then, implications for future LHC phenomenology are discussed by focusing on the technirho mesons produced through the Drell-Yan process. We find that the color-octet technirho decaying to the technidilaton along with the gluon is of interest as the discovery channel at the LHC, which would provide a characteristic signature to probe the one-family WTC.

A new, strongly-coupled dark sector could be accessible to LHC searches now. These dark sectors consist of composites formed from constituents that are charged under the electroweak group and interact with the Higgs, but are neutral under Standard Mo
del color. In these scenarios, the most promising target is the dark meson sector, consisting of dark vector-mesons as well as dark pions. In this paper we study dark meson production and decay at the LHC in theories that preserve a global SU(2) dark flavor symmetry. Dark pions can be pair-produced through resonant dark vector meson production, $p ptorho_Dtopi_Dpi_D$, and decay in one of two distinct ways: gaugephobic, when $pi_Dto fbar{f}$ generally dominates; or gaugephilic, when $pi_Dto W+h,Z+h$ dominates once kinematically open. Unlike QCD, the decay $pi^0_Dtogammagamma$ is virtually absent due to the dark flavor symmetry. We recast a vast set of LHC searches to determine the current constraints on dark meson production and decay. When $m_{rho_D}$ is slightly heavier than $2 m_{pi_D}$ and $rho_D^{pm,0}$ kinetically mixes with the weak gauge bosons, the 8 TeV same-sign lepton search strategy sets the best bound, $m_{pi_D}>500$ GeV. Yet, when only the $rho^0_D$ kinetically mixes with hypercharge, we find the strongest LHC bound is $m_{pi_D}>130$ GeV, that is only slightly better than what LEP II achieved. We find the relative insensitivity of LHC searches, especially at 13 TeV, can be blamed mainly on their penchant for high mass objects or large MET. Dedicated searches would undoubtedly yield substantially improved sensitivity. We provide a GitHub page to speed the implementation of these searches in future LHC analyses. Our findings provide a strong motivation for model-independent searches of the form $ppto Ato B+Cto SM, SM+SM, SM$ where the theoretical prejudice is for SM to be a t,b,$tau$ or W,Z,h.
We investigate the prospects for the discovery of massive hyper-gluons using data from the early runs of the CERN Large Hadron Collider with $sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV and assuming an integrated luminosity of 1 fb$^{-1}$. A phenomenological Lagrangian is adop
ted to evaluate the cross section of a pair of colored vector bosons (coloron, $tilde{rho}$) decaying into four colored scalar resonances (hyper-pion, $tilde{pi}$), which then decay into eight gluons. We include the dominant physics background from the production of $8g$, $7g1q$, $6g2q$, and $5g3q$. We find an abundance of signal events and that realistic cuts reduce the background enough to establish a $5sigma$ signal for $m_{tilde{pi}} alt 220$ GeV or $m_{tilde{rho}} alt 733$ GeV.
We analyze the phenomenology of the top-pion and top-Higgs states in models with strong top dynamics, and translate the present LHC searches for the Standard Model Higgs into bounds on these scalar states. We explore the possibility that the new stat
e at a mass of approximately 125 GeV observed at the LHC is consistent with a neutral pseudoscalar top-pion state. We demonstrate that a neutral pseudoscalar top-pion can generate the diphoton signal at the observed rate. However, the region of model parameter space where this is the case does not correspond to classic topcolor-assisted technicolor scenarios with degenerate charged and neutral top-pions and a top-Higgs mass of order twice the top mass; rather, additional isospin violation would need to be present and the top dynamics would be more akin to that in top seesaw models. Moreover, the interpretation of the new state as a top-pion can be sustained only if the ZZ (four-lepton) and WW (two-lepton plus missing energy) signatures initially observed at the 3? level decline in significance as additional data is accrued.
The discovery potential of the LHC is investigated for the minimal anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (mAMSB) scenario, using the ATLAS fast detector simulator, including track reconstruction and particle identification. Generic supersymmetry se
arch cuts are used to map the 5-sigma (and >=10 event) discovery contours in the m_0 - m_3/2 plane. With 100 inverse fb of integrated luminosity the search will reach up to 2.8 TeV in the squark mass and 2.1 TeV in the gluino mass. We generalise a kinematical variable and demonstrate that it is sensitive to the small chargino-LSP mass splitting characteristic of AMSB models. By identifying tracks from chargino decays we show that the Wino-like nature of the LSP can be determined for a wide range of chargino lifetimes.
Recently there has been much interest in the use of single-jet mass and jet substructure to identify boosted particles decaying hadronically at the LHC. We develop these ideas to address the challenging case of a neutralino decaying to three quarks i
n models with baryonic violation of R-parity. These decays have previously been found to be swamped by QCD backgrounds. We demonstrate for the first time that such a decay might be observed directly at the LHC with high significance, by exploiting characteristics of the scales at which its composite jet breaks up into subjets.
