From recent analysis of the $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude, it has been claimed that there exists a broad and light $\sigma$ meson. However, if this meson really exists, it must also appear in other observables such as the pion scalar form…
Despite the apparent simplicity of meson spectroscopy, light scalar mesons cannot be accommodated in the usual $q\bar q$ structure. We study the description of the scalar mesons below 2 GeV in terms of the mixing of a chiral nonet of…
In pure-glue QCD, gluon-gluon scattering in the $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$ channel is described by a very simple equation, especially if one considers just the leading contribution to the scattering kernel. Of all components in this kernel, only the…
We calculate the mass of $0^{-+}$ triple-valence-gluon resonance, the trigluon glueball, with QCD sum rules. Its mass is found to be approximately in the region between 1.9 GeV and 2.7 GeV with some theoretical uncertainties. Moreover, it…
Scalar-isoscalar states (0++) are investigated within the large-Nc Regge approach. We elaborate on the consequences of including the lightest f0(600) scalar-isoscalar state into such an analysis, where the position of f0(600) fits very well…
We consider a $N_f=3$ chiral Lagrangian which describes the interaction between the pseudoscalar glueball, $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, and scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. We calculate the decay widths of the pseudoscalar glueball, where we fixed its…
Data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 have been used to search for gamma gamma production of the glueball candidates f0(1500) and fJ(1710) via their decay to pi+pi-. No signal is observed and upper limits to the product of gamma gamma…
We discuss the phenomenology of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, emphasizing those which do not carry manifest flavor quantum numbers. Many of the properties of these mesons are still not fully understood. Some of them probably do not have…
The spectrum of two-particle bound states is investigated within a relativistic quantum-field model of interacting quarks and gluons confined analytically. The hadronization process of mesons and glueballs is described by using the…
It is shown that the eigenstates of the quantized simplest closed (elliptic) Nambu -- Goto string, called glueballs, have quantum numbers I^Gj^{PC}=0^+j^{++}. Lightest glueballs have spins j=0,1 and 2 and the same mass 1500 +/- 20 MeV. They…
Using 53 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data taken at $\sqrt{s}=3.686$ GeV, a comprehensive study has been made of the radiative decays of samples of 5.1 million $J/\psi$ and 24.5 million $\psi(2S)$ into pairs of pseudoscalar mesons,…
A scaled SU(3) Nambu - Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian is used to compute the mass of the nine scalar mesons in the vacuum and the mass of the gluball. It is shown that a suitable choice of the vacuum gluon condensate allows to reproduce the…
We study the pseudoscalar glueball candidates in a chiral effective Lagrangian model proposed by 't hooft, motived by taking into account the instanton effects, which can describe not only the chiral symmetry breaking, but also the solution…
In a recent article, W.-S. Hou and G.-G. Wong [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 67}, 034003 (2003)] have investigated the spectrum of two-gluon glueballs below 3 GeV in a potential model with a dynamical gluon mass. We point out that, among the 18 states…
The mixing between the $f_2(1270)$, the $f_2(1525)$, and the $2^{++}$ glueball is determined and tested. The mass and the hadronic decay widths of the $G_2$ and the branching ratio $B(J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma G_2)$ are predicted.
This work is devoted to search and study scalar $\sigma_0 0^+[0^++]$ - mesons in the system of $\pi^+\pi^-$ from the reaction $np -> np\pi^+\pi^-$ at the impulse of the quasimonochromatic neutrons c from the data obtained in an exposure of…
In the three-state mixing framework, considering the possible glueball components of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$, we investigate the hadronic decays of $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ into two pseudoscalar mesons. The…

In this talk I summarize recently proposed mechanisms to understand pi pi scattering to 1 GeV in an effective chiral Lagrangian. The Lagrangian includes higher resonances in addition to pions consistently with the chiral symmetry. Iso-spin…
In terms of the heavy chiral Lagrangian and the unitarized coupled-channel scattering amplitude, interaction between the heavy meson and the light pseudoscalar meson is studied. By looking for the pole of scattering matrix on an appropriate…
