The tensor glueball is searched for in BESIII data on radiative $J/\psi$ decays into $\pi^0\pi^0$ and $K_sK_s$. The $\pi\pi$ invariant mass distribution exhibits an enhancement that can be described by a pole at $(2210\pm 60) -i(180\pm…
We present an evaluation of the glueball spectrum for configurations produced with $N_f=1$ dynamical fermions as a function of the $m_{\rm PCAC}$ mass. We obtained masses of states that fall into the irreducible representations of the…
We calculate the scattering cross section between two $0^{++}$ glueballs in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory on lattice at $\beta = 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4$, and 2.5 using the indirect (HAL QCD) method. We employ the cluster-decomposition error…
The estimation of the K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density from gauge invariant lattice QCD two point correlation functions is proposed, and explored via an inversion strategy based on Tikhonov regularisation. We test the method on a mesonic…
In a scalar approximation the distribution of a gluon condensate in a glueball is calculated. In this approximation the SU(3) gauge fields are separated on two parts: (1) is the $SU(2) \subset SU(3)$ subgroup, (2) is the coset $SU(3) /…
On the basis of a nonperturbative scalar model of gluon condensate the model of glueball is considered. Two scalar fields describe quantum fluctuations of gauge potential components belonging to a small subgroup $SU(2) \subset SU(3)$ and a…
