Abstract

The f0(1500)f_0(1500) is identified in three glueball favoured production mechanisms: ppˉp\bar{p} annihilation, ψγf0\psi \to \gamma f_0 and Central Production. The production rate for glueballs in ψγG\psi \to \gamma G has been quantified and the f0(1500)f_0(1500) is found to be consistent with a glueball - qqˉq\bar{q} mixture. We illustrate a remarkable property of central production where kinematic cuts appear to make a systematic separation between glueballs and qqˉq\bar{q} of the same JPCJ^{PC}. When the cut favouring glueballs is applied, the f0(1500)f_0(1500) and other enigmatic states appear prominently while confirmed qqˉq\bar{q} states are empirically suppressed.
