Glueballs from gluon jets at the LHC

Abstract

The existence of glueballs within QCD is uncontroversial but their experimental verification is still in doubt. We discuss the new possibilities for a search of glueballs as the leading object in gluon jets at the LHC. We summarize previous results from LEP which demonstrate a significant excess rate of electrically neutral leading clusters in comparison with MC models.
