The current picture of Glueballs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

Some recent developments in the phenomenology of the lightest scalar glueball are summarised. Tools for determining the gluonic content of a resonance of known mass, width and JPCJ^{PC} from its branching fraction in radiative quarkonium decays and production cross section in γγ\gamma \gamma collisions are presented. Two qqˉGq\bar{q} - G mixing schemes for JPC=0++J^{PC} = 0^{++}, inspired by the lattice, are shown to lead to similar phenomenology that may be tested at BEPC and in γγ\gamma \gamma production at LEP2.
