Abstract

We deduce the mass of the pseudoscalar glueball GG from an η\eta-η\eta'-GG mixing formalism based on the anomalous Ward identity for transition matrix elements. With the inputs from the recent KLOE experiment, we find a solution for the pseudoscalar glueball mass around (1.4±0.1)(1.4\pm 0.1) GeV, which is fairly insensitive to a range of inputs with or without Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-rule violating effects. This affirms that η(1405)\eta(1405), having a large production rate in the radiative J/ΨJ/\Psi decay and not seen in γγ\gamma\gamma reactions, is indeed a leading candidate for the pseudoscalar glueball. Other relevant quantities including the anomaly and pseudoscalar density matrix elements are obtained. The decay widths for GγγG\to \gamma\gamma, +\ell^+\ell^- are also predicted.
