Introduction
The Standard Model succeed but it has some deficiencies⇒Not the definitive theory
The Higgs boson was discovered but is it the only scalar particle in Nature?
Other possibilities should be compatible with the data
Processes involving flavour changing neutral currents gives hard constraints In order to avoid those processes some assumption can be made
Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV)⇒the dynamics of flavour violation is completely determined by the structure of the ordinary Yukawa couplings A. V. Manohar & M. B. Wise⇒only (1,2)1/2 and (8,2)1/2 satisfy MFV
Our Work
Many works studying extensions with more (1,2)1/2scalars
We focussed on the (8,2)1/2 scalar extensions
Most of the works came before the LHC
A few works concerning the direct searches of these scalars
We study the direct production finding better constraints than previous works

The Manohar-Wise Model

The kinetic term of the colour octet is

It is convenient to avoid the decay of one scalar particle to another
While studyingSR0 processes we will chooseλ2<0
While studyingS± processes we will chooseλ2>0
Production channels
At tree level the colour scalars are produced by pairs
The single production of the neutral colour scalars is only possible at loop level via gluon fusion
Decay channels
Suppressing kinematically the decay to colour scalar the only possible decay at tree lever is the decay to quarks
The decay to gluons although being a loop process can be dominant for neutral scalars
Effective Lagrangian
For the generation of the events it is convenient to work only at tree level Condense the physics of the decay to gluons in a dimension six effective Lagrangian

Conclusions
From thep p→SR0 →tt¯channel no constraints are found with the actual data but will probably be find in the near future
From thep p→SR0 t¯t→tt t¯ t¯channel we can find a lower bound on the mass of the scalars of 1 TeV whenηU is of order one and λ2<0
From thep p→S+t¯b→t¯b t¯b channel the lower bound is of 800 GeV for any value ofηU and/orηD different from 0 andλ2>0
Combining both we conclude that the mass of the colour scalars must be higher than 800 GeV ifηU is order one
Better constraints than previous works
