Abstract

In this paper, we study the production of spin-one color-octet resonances (colorons) at hadron colliders in a model independent way. We use dijets data measured by CDF (at TeV and pb⁻¹) and ATLAS (at TeV and nb⁻¹) collaborations at the Tevatron and the LHC respectively to impose limits on the coupling of colorons to fermions. We show that CDF data still produce the more stringent limits on the coloron coupling constant.
