Probing Strong Electroweak Symmetry Breaking in W+ W- -> t \bar t

Abstract

We study the process $W^{+}{W}^{-}\to t\bar{t}$ in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to \nu \bar{\nu }t\bar{t}$ at an $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ linear collider with 1.5 TeV center of mass energy. We also discuss how the lowest-lying resonances predicted by these models could be identified using top polarization observables.
