Arguments are given that support the interpretation of the lattice QCD glueball and gluelump spectra in terms of bound states of massless constituent gluons with helicity-1. In this scheme, the mass hierarchy of the currently known…
We present a model for odd-$C$ (negative charge parity) glueballs with three constituent gluons. The model is an extension of a previous study of two-gluon glueballs. We show that, even if spin-1 gluons seem to reproduce properly the…
We compute the energy spectrum of gluelumps defined as gluonic excitations bound to a localized, static octet source. We are able to reproduce the nontrivial ordering of the spin-parity levels and show how this is related to the non-abelian…
Spectrum of gluons in the adjoint source field is computed analytically using the QCD string Hamiltonian, containing only one parameter - string tension, fixed by meson and glueball spectrum. Spin splitting is shown to be small. A good…
Proposals for physics beyond the standard model often include new colored particles at or beyond the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. Any new particle with a sufficient lifetime will bind with standard model gluons and quarks to form…
Modeling glueballs as bound states of transverse constituent gluons allows to understand the main features of the lattice QCD glueball spectrum. In particular it has been shown in previous works that the lightest C-even glueballs can be…
In the last decade, lattice QCD has been able to compute the low-lying glueball spectrum with accuracy. Like other effective approaches of QCD, potential models still have difficulties to cope with gluonic hadrons. Assuming that glueballs…
Assuming that the Casimir scaling hypothesis is well verified in QCD, masses of glueballs and hybrid gluelumps (gluon with a point-like $c\bar c$ pair) are computed within the rotating string formalism. In our model, two gluons are attached…
Starting from the $0^{++}$ glueball mass and wave function computed from lattice QCD, we compute the local potential between two constituent gluons. Since the properties of constituent gluons are still a matter of research, we allow for…
We discuss the ``spectroscopy'' of gluonic states in systems with two space dimensions, using simple models to mimic the results of lattice gauge theory computations. We first discuss the quantum numbers of these systems, including charge…
Hybrid meson energies are calculated in the static quark limit with the Dynamical Quark Model (DQM). In the DQM, transverse gluons are represented as effective constituents with a dynamically generated mass. Hybrid masses are determined…
We compute gluelump masses and mass differences using SU(3) lattice gauge theory. We study states with total angular momentum up to $J = 3$, parity $P = +,-$ and charge conjugation $C = +,-$. Computations on four ensembles with rather fine…
We calculate the potential between ``quarks'' which are in the adjoint representation of SU(2) color in the three-dimensional lattice theory. We work in the scaling region of the theory and at large quark separations $R$. We also calculate…
We consider (1+1)-dimensional QCD coupled to scalars in the adjoint representation of the gauge group SU($N$). This model results from dimensional reduction of the (2+1)-dimensional pure glue theory. In the large-N limit we study the…
A potential model description of heavy quarkonium can be rigorously deduced from QCD under some circumstances. The potentials can be unambiguously related with Wilson loops with gluonic insertions, the spectral decomposition of which is a…
We calculate the potential between adjoint sources in $SU(2)$ pure gauge theory in three dimensions. We investigate whether the potential saturates at large separations due to the creation of a pair of gluelumps, colour-singlet states…
The QCD-like gauge theory with adjoint fermions is considered in the field correlator formalism and the total spectrum of mesons and glueballs is obtained in agreement with available lattice data. A new state of a white fermion appears, as…
Confinement is one of the hallmarks of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Yet, its first-principle characterization, even in simpler models, remains elusive. Through a combination of group-theoretical arguments and numerical analysis, we show…
We discuss the spectrum of hadrons with a heavy colour-adjoint particle - motivated by the gluino of supersymmetry. Using the lattice approach, we explore in detail the gluonic bound states - the `glueballino' or `gluelump'. We also make a…
We present an exploratory study of the gluonic structure of the $\phi$ meson using lattice QCD (LQCD). This includes the first investigation of gluonic transversity via the leading moment of the twist-two double-helicity-flip gluonic…
