Abstract

Glueballs are the most straightforward prediction of QCD, yet while they have likely been produced, none has been unequivocally identified. We pursue a backdoor approach through anomalies, and singularly the η\eta and η\eta' which brings light to this irritating situation. In particular, we advocate to consider the full decay chain J/ψXγ,XηηJ/\psi \rightarrow X \gamma , X \rightarrow \eta \eta' (into glue-rich states followed by glue-rich decays). We also suggest new BES III searches, namely for the π1\pi_1 into η()π0\eta(') \pi^0, (this would be the partner of their recently observed η1(1855)\eta_1(1855)). Another useful investigation would be for other channels (or semi-inclusive) f0(1500)f_0 (1500) decays (see last section)
