The particle may have a mass of 145 GeV. That's in the neighborhood of a technipion's hypothetical mass of 160 GeV. Alternatively the observation could be a statistical error.

New particles never before observed should have been found in Europe at Cern-a more powerful particle accellerator, yet scientists of the early 20th century were pioneers of quantum theory so its appropriate that the foundation of a new class of particles might occur in Illinois and the accellerator facility named for Enrico Fermi.
In reading over a comment by Peter Woit on the history of technicolor development (see following link) Technicolor , I believe, is mentioned as potentially another sort of strong force. Stephen Weinberg and Leonard Suskind originated the theory that would become technicolor as a symmetry breaking derivative from Quantum Chromo Dynamics in 1978 (independently).
