The theory at arXiv:1101.0586 [hep-th] predicts new fundamental spin 1/2 particles which can be produced in pairs through their couplings to vector bosons or fermions. The lowest-energy of these should have a mass m1/2comparable to the mass mhof the recently discovered Higgs boson (with m1/2= mhin the simplest model). These particles should therefore be detectable in collider experiments, perhaps in Run 2 or 3 of the LHC. Here we discuss possible production mechanisms.
