Abstract

It is interesting to determine the fraction of the gluonium component in η\eta and η\eta' which has been under serious discussion for many years. Measurements on different decay and/or production modes were employed in literatures, thus larger uncertainties were unavoidable. In this paper we suggest to determine the mixing angles of ηηG\eta-\eta'-G using the data of semileptonic decays of DD and DsD_s. We extract the mixing angles ϕ\phi', ϕG\phi_G and the model parameters simultaneously. Thanks to the new measurements carried out by CLEO Collaboration and there are sufficient decay modes to determine both the model parameters and mixing angles. The mixing angles from data are ϕ=(41.5±2.0)\phi'=(41.5\pm2.0)^\circ and sinϕG=0.00±0.36\sin\phi_G=0.00\pm0.36. Even though the central value of sinϕG\sin\phi_G is still zero, an upper bound is set. Moreover, as suggested in literature, η(1405)\eta(1405) is a glueball candidate whereas in our picture, η(1405)\eta(1405) may be identified as GG with glueonium being its main content. Using all the model-parameters obtained above, we estimate the branching ratios of Ds+(D+)Ge+νeD_s^+(D^+)\rightarrow Ge^+\nu_e where G is identified as η(1405)\eta(1405).
