Abstract

We consider the production of axigluons (A), massive octet gauge bosons present in all chiral color models, in the decays V_Q → Ag, where V_Q = ³S₁ (Q Q ̄) and g is a gluon. We find that such decays, if kinematically allowed, can easily dominate the annihilation decays of heavy ³S₁ quarkonia. We also consider the decays of axigluons into light quarkonia (J/ψ Υ{hooked}) plus gluon as a possible signal of light axigluon production. The effects of axigluon exchange on quarkonium spin-splittings are also briefly discussed.
