Abstract

The vector glueball OO, made of 3 valence gluons, is expected to be ``clean": it mixes less with quarkonia, but mediates OZI violations. The recent 0++0^{++} glueball candidate and the persistence of the J/ψ,ψρπJ/\psi, \psi' \to \rho\pi puzzle suggest mOmJ/ψm_O\simeq m_{J/\psi}, with mixing angle 24\sim 2^\circ - 4^\circ, hence Γ(Oρπ\Gamma(O\to \rho\pi, K+KK^+K^-, e+e)e^+e^-) \sim MeV, few keV, few eV. Lower and upper bounds on ΓO\Gamma_O can be argued from e+eρπe^+e^- \to \rho\pi energy scan data and the condition B(Oρπ)>B(J/ψρπ)B(O\to \rho\pi) > B(J/\psi\to \rho\pi). OO dominance may explain the ``large" OZI violation in 1S0(pˉp)ϕγ^1S_0(\bar pp)\to \phi\gamma vs. ωγ\omega\gamma.
