Abstract

We interpret the recent data on nonobservation of Z^\ensuremath' and W^\ensuremath' bosons, reported by CMS, within minimal walking technicolor models and use them to constrain the couplings and spectrum of the theory. We provide the reach for both exclusion and possible observation for the LHC with 5 fb^\ensuremath-1 at 7 TeV in the center of mass energy, and 100 fb^\ensuremath-1 at 13 TeV.
