The scalar glueball spectrum

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

We discuss scenarios for scalar glueballs using arguments based on sum rules, spectral decomposition, the 1Nc\frac{1}{N_c} approximation, the scales of the strong interaction and the topology of the flux tubes. We analyze the phenomenological support of those scenarios and their observational implications. Our investigations hint a rich low lying glueball spectrum.
