Abstract
We discuss the possible signals of the degenerate BESS model at
the LHC. This model describes a strongly interacting scenario
responsible of the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak
symmetry. It predicts two triplets of extra gauge bosons which
are almost degenerate in mass. Due to this feature, the model
has the property of decoupling and therefore, at low energies
(below or of the order of 100 GeV) it is nearly
indistinguishable from the Standard Model. However the new
resonances, both neutral and charged, should give quite
spectacular signals at the LHC, where the c.o.m. energy will
allow to produce these gauge bosons directly.
