We discuss the recent observation of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays and in gluon jets which hints toward a gluonic coupling of this meson similar to eta'. Further predictions on B-decays into scalar particles are presented. Charmless B…
We briefly review the computational strategy we have recently introduced for computing glueball masses and matrix elements, which achieves an exponential reduction of statistical errors compared to standard techniques. The global symmetries…

The lowest-lying glueball masses are computed in SU($N$) gauge theory on a spacetime lattice for constant value of the lattice spacing $a$ and for $N$ ranging from 3 to 8. The lattice spacing is fixed using the deconfinement temperature at…
In view of the recent diboson resonant excesses reported by both ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, we suggest that a new weak singlet pseudo-scalar particle, $\eta_W$, may decay into two weak bosons while being produced in gluon fusion at the…
It is interesting to determine the fraction of the gluonium component in $\eta$ and $\eta'$ which has been under serious discussion for many years. Measurements on different decay and/or production modes were employed in literatures, thus…

We investigate whether known properties of the $\eta'$ meson are consistent with its being the Goldstone boson of the spontaneously broken anomaly-free R symmetry required in the light gluino scenario. We fit the masses and $2\gamma$ decays…
Motivated by the newly observed resonance $X(2600)$ by BESIII Collaboration, we examine the trigluon glueball interpretation for it in the framework of QCD sum rules. We evaluate the mass spectra of the trigluon glueballs with quantum…
Several proposals for dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking and fermion mass generation involve strong gauge interactions with a characteristic scale of a few hundred GeV. The detection of the glueballs which should occur in such models…
We study the glueball properties at finite temperature below T_c using SU(3) anisotropic quenched lattice QCD with beta=6.25, the renormalized anisotropy gamma = a_s/a_t = 4 and 20^3 \times N_t (N_t = 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 43, 45, 50, 72).…
We perform a calculation of the glueball spectrum for $N_f=4$ degenerate dynamical fermions with masses corresponding to light pions. We do so by making use of ensembles produced within the framework of maximally twisted fermions by the…
The Kawai model describing the glueball-quarkonia mixing is modified. The mixing of $\eta$, $\eta^\prime$ and $\eta(1410)$ is re-investigated based on the modified Kawai model. The glueball-quarkonia content of the three states is…
The lowest-lying glueballs are investigated in lattice QCD using $N_f=2$ clover Wilson fermion on anisotropic lattices. We simulate at two different and relatively heavy quark masses, corresponding to physical pion mass of $m_\pi\sim 938$…
From the $0^{++}$ glueball candidate we argue that the $1^{--}$ glueball $O$ to be near in mass to $J/\psi$. This is supported by the recent null search for $\psi^\prime \to \rho\pi, K^*\bar K$, while absence of distortion in the energy…
The thermal properties of the glueballs are studied using SU(3) anisotropic lattice QCD with beta=6.25, the renormalized anisotropy xi=a_s/a_t=4 over the lattice of the size 20^3\times N_t with N_t = 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38,…
We argue that the $1^{--}$ glueball $O$ is much cleaner than other glueball candidates. Anomalously large $J/\psi \to \rho\pi, K^*\bar K$ decays and the scalar glueball mass scale suggest that $m_{O} \simeq m_{J/\psi}$.
We discuss the $0^{+-}$ singlet sector of glueballs in the Klebanov-Strassler theory. We report the results of a numerical study of the linearized equations in the Klebanov-Strasller background and make a comparison with the spectrum of the…

QCD theory predicts the existence of glueballs, but so far all experimental endeavors have failed to identify any such states. To remedy this discrepancy between QCD, which has proven to be a successful theory for strong interactions, and…
