Coupling Constants for Scalar Glueball Decay

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-07-09 v1

Abstract

We evaluate the partial decay widths of the lightest scalar glueball to pairs of pseudoscalar quark-antiquark states. The calculation is done in the valence (quenched) approximation on a 163\time2416^3 \time 24 lattice at β=5.7\beta = 5.7. These predictions and values obtained earlier for the infinite volume continuum limit of the scalar glueball's mass are in good agreement with the observed properties of fJ(1710)f_J(1710) and inconsistent with all other observed meson resonances.
