Is the $\sigma(600)$ a Glueball? Two photon reactions can tell us

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Minkowski and Ochs have recently argued that the small two photon coupling of a conjectured σ(600)\sigma(600) is so small that it is likely to be a glueball. We ask whether this can be so or whether it is simply gauge invariance that produces the observed low mass suppression?
