Probing for preon structure via gluons

Gluons form an important fraction of the partons at small x in anti pp scattering at SSC energies (approx. 40 TeV). Therefore, gluon reactions at the SCC may be expected to yield important signals for compositeness, if the preon scale is a few TeV. Here we develop a quantitative method for estimating many gluon scattering processes. Some of our estimates are model independent. We also propose explicit formulas for various scattering amplitudes based on a Veneziano-type beta function model that exhibits resonances and Regge behavior. Many interesting spectacular signatures are suggested in the resonance region, where massive vector bosons and/or excited and exotic quarks and leptons can be produced
