Abstract
If the symmetry-breaking sector of the standard model is strongly interacting, the low-energy dynamics of the longitudinal components of the weak bosons can be described by a nonlinear-sigma-model with two free parameters. For a large range of these parameters the model supports finite-energy solitons called weak Skyrmions or technibaryons. Technibaryons could be produced at the Superconducting Super Collider giving rise to exotic experimental signatures since they are stable, heavy, and in some cases, fractional-charged particles.
