New strong sector, odd-parity processes, and the Tevatron

The color-octet isosinglet “rho” of a new strong-interaction sector is readily produced in pp collisions. Its odd-parity decay to an “eta” and a gluon may exceed its decay rate to dijets. At center of mass energies sufficiently greater than the colored “rho” mass, the odd-parity production of (“omega” + colored “eta”) or (“rho” + colored “pion”) may be comparable to tt production. Considering that the “omega” has a dominant odd-parity decay mode, we end up with (Z, W, or γ) + 4 jet events with two of the jets containing b or b.
