Abstract

In this paper, we study how the interaction of the axigluon with quarks is modified when we introduce new color-octet spin-one fields in a chiral color model. We show that in this case the strength of this interaction is not completely determined by the gauge symmetry anymore and may be significantly weaker than the one predicted in the original chiral color model. In this way, we reinterpret the non-observability of the axigluon at the Tevatron, not as a limit on the axigluon mass, but as a limit on the strength of the axigluon coupling to quarks. Nevertheless, it must be remarked that, because the experimental limits on colored resonances production depend on the mass of the resonance, the limits we find still depend on the mass of the axigluon.
