Particles and fields 60(7) (American Physical Society) · 32 pages, LaTeX, with 14 postscript figures. Programming error for technipion-pair production has been rectified, resulting in reduced rates for these processes only; figures 3,8,12 and associated text are modified accordingly; one reference added and minor clarifications made

We discuss the production and decay rates of the lightest color-singlet technihadrons, spin-one \ensuremathρT and \ensuremathωT and spin-zero \ensuremathπT, in a minimal ``straw-man'' model of low-scale technicolor. Because of walking technicolor enhancements of technipion masses, the decay channels \ensuremathρT\ensuremath→\ensuremathπT\ensuremathπT and \ensuremathωT\ensuremath→\ensuremathπT\ensuremathπT\ensuremathπT are likely to be closed. The largest decay modes then are \ensuremathρT\ensuremath→W\ensuremathπT,\ensuremathγ\ensuremathπT and \ensuremathωT\ensuremath→\ensuremathγ\ensuremathπT, while \ensuremathρT, \ensuremathωT\ensuremath→l+l^\ensuremath- offer low-rate but very clear signatures. The revised \ensuremathρT and \ensuremathωT decay rates to \ensuremathγ\ensuremathπT presented here affect the technicolor searches planned for run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
