Abstract
We investigate dark matter candidates emerging in recently proposed
technicolor theories. We determine the relic density of the lightest, neutral,
stable technibaryon having imposed weak thermal equilibrium conditions and
overall electric neutrality of the Universe. In addition we consider sphaleron
processes that violate baryon, lepton and technibaryon number. Our analysis is
performed in the case of a first order electroweak phase transition as well as
a second order one. We argue that, in both cases, the new technibaryon
contributes to the dark matter in the Universe. Finally we examine the problem
of the constraints on these types of dark matter components from earth based
experiments.
