Popis: We explore corrections to electroweak parameters in the context of Extended Technicolor (ETC) models in which the ETC gauge-boson which generates the top-quark mass carries weak SU(2) charge. For mt≈150 GeV there exist potentially large corrections to the Z decay width to b-quarks. Interestingly, in contrast to the situation in ETC models where the gauge-boson which generates the top-quark mass is a weak SU(2) singlet, the corrections may increase the Z→bb branching ratio. © 1994.
