A review of new results from lattice simulations of glueballs and heavy-quark hybrid mesons is presented.
The existence of non-q\bar{q} hadrons such as glueballs and hybrids is one of the most important qualitative questions in QCD. The COMPASS experiment offers the possibility to unambiguously identify such states and map out the glueball and…
Many new results on hadron spectra have been appearing in the past few years thanks to improved experimental techniques and searches in new channels. New theoretical techniques including refined methods of lattice QCD have kept pace with…
We discuss states in the meson spectrum which have explicit gluonic components. Glueballs (with no valence quarks) and hybrid mesons (with valence quarks) are both reviewed. We present in some detail lattice simulation results. ( to appear…
We review lattice QCD results for glueballs (including a discussion of mixing with scalar mesons), hybrid mesons and exotic mesons (such as $B_s B_s$ molecules). We also discuss string breaking as a mixing between colour flux states and $B…
The light hadron spectrum as computed in nonperturbative QCD is reviewed and compared to lattice data and experiment. The mixing of mesons, hybrids and glueballs is calculated in the Field Correlator Method. The strong decay mechanisms are…
In this paper, I review the experimental situation for both glueballs and hybrid mesons. Theoretical expectations are discussed, and a survey of what is known about hybrid mesons and glueballs is undertaken. Good experimental evidence…
States beyond those expected in the simple constituent quark model are now emerging. I focus on the scalar glueball and its mixing with states in the $q\bar{q}$ nonet, and also on correlations in Strong QCD that may form diquarks and seed…
I review recent Lattice results. In particular, the confinement mechanism and string breaking, glueballs and hybrid mesons as well as light hadron spectroscopy are discussed.
Glueballs and Hybrids are solid predictions of QCD, but none have this far been identified in an undisputable way. We list several strategies, including the very promising search for "cascade" decays of glueballs and hybrids into each…
The mass spectra of heavy and light mesons is computed within the framework of the relativistic flux tube model. A good agreement with the experimental data is obtained provided that the flux tube contributions, including retardation and…
Lattice QCD predicts a rich spectroscopy of glueballs and $q\bar{q}-$glue h ybrids. I compare these with data and assess the emerging empirical situation. Questions for the lattice are proposed.
The vast majority of mesons can be understood as quark-antiquark states. Yet, various other possibilities exists: glueballs (bound-state of gluons), hybrids (quark-antiquark plus gluon), and four-quark states (either as diquark-antidiquark…
The models for hybrid mesons are discussed, in which the gluonic excitations manifest themselves as the vibrations of the quark- antiquark QCD string. The predictions for the spectra, decays and mixing with hadronic channels are presented.
