Can one test technicolour

We estimate the couplings to ordinary particles of the lightest bound states in technicolour theories and discuss the resulting phenomenology. We compute their couplings to light gauge bosons through axial anomalies and also estimate their non-anomalous couplings at low energies. We estimate their couplings to fermions under the general simplifying assumption that each fermion acquires its mass from a unique technifermion condensate ( monophagy ), in which case they are naturally flavour conserving and relatively well-defined. We find that the classic Higgs search experiments (toponium → H0 + γ, e+ e- → H+ H-, e+ e- → Z0 + H0) enable one to make a decisive discrimination between elementary and composite models of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We also emphasize the interest of improving experimental limits on K0sub(L) → μe in the context of dynamical symmetry breaking models. (orig.)
