Abstract
We discuss the importance of mixing between glueballs -- bound states of gluons -- and excited states for the glueball search. A preliminary study of the excited states in the Extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM) suggests their masses in the scalar channel to be in the vicinity of the scalar-glueball mass found in Lattice QCD. This could have implications for future glueball searches.
