The heaviness of the glueball mass scale is suggested as the source of the OZI rule at low energy. The $J/\psi \to \rho\pi$ decay "anomaly" implies the vector glueball $O$ has mass $m_O \approx m_{J/\psi}$. Such a heavy mass is supported by…
We study the glueballs properties at finite temperature using SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level with the anisotropic lattice. We use the tree-level Symanzik O(a^2) improved action. We present our preliminary results which shows the…
Based on the observation that K_0(1430) is lighter than its SU_3 counterpart, a_0(1450), we examine the possibility that these particles, together with f_0(1370), f_0(1500) and f_0(1710), fill a tetraquark recurrence of the sub-GeV 0^{++}…
We discuss the mixing between the sigma meson sigma and the "pure" glueball field H and study the decays of the scalar glueball candidates f_0(1370), f_0(1500) and f_0(1710) (a linear combination of sigma and H) into two pions in an…
The scalar glueball is investigated in a soft-wall model of AdS/QCD. Constraints of the mass of the scalar glueball are given through an analysis of a relation between the bulk mass and the anomalous dimension. The mass of the ground scalar…
We provide a new, independent, and analytic estimate of the lowest glueball mass, and we found it at 1661 MeV within a relativistic quantum-field model based on analytic confinement. The conventional mesons and the weak decay constants are…
The mixing of $\eta_c$ and the lowest mass pseudoscalar glueball is estimated within the framework of the instanton liquid model. It is demonstrated that the mixing is large and may explain the difference between the observed mass of the…
We examine the mixing between the sigma meson $\sigma$ and the "pure" glueball field $H$ and study the decays of the scalar glueball candidate $f_0(1500)$ (a linear combination of $\sigma$ and $H$) into two and four pions in effective…
The recent BESIII announcement of a pseudoscalar glueball candidate makes an update on glueballs from lattice QCD timely. A brief review of how glueballs are studied in lattice QCD is given, and the reasons that glueballs are difficult to…
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 study the decays of the pseudotensor mesons $[ \pi_{2}(1670) , K_{2}(1770) , \eta_{2}(1645) , \eta_{2}(1870) ]$ interpreted as the ground-state nonet of $1^1 D_{2}$ $\bar{q}q$ states using interaction Lagrangians which couple them to…
The lowest scalar and pseudoscalar glueball masses are evaluated by means of the time-dependent variational approach to the Yang-Mills gauge theory without fermions in the Hamiltonian formalism within a Gaussian wavefunctional…
We perform the first lattice QCD study on the radiative decay of the scalar glueball to the vector meson $\phi$ in the quenched approximation. The calculations are carried out on three gauge ensembles with different lattice spacings, which…
Recently performed investigations of meson spectra allow us to determine the resonance structure for the waves $IJ^{PC}=00^{++}$, $10^{++}$, $02^{++}$, $12^{++}$ = $IJ^P= 1/2 0^+$ in the mass region up to 1900 MeV, thus establishing the…
We study the interaction of scalar glueball with quark-antiquark and four-quark spinless meson fields within the framework of a generalized linear sigma model in which the trace anomaly of QCD is exactly realized. To determine the pure…
The existence and properties of the f0(1370) scalar meson are rather well established from data of antiproton annihilations at rest. However conflicting results from Central Exclusive Production (CEP) experiments of the last millennium and…
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 $m_\pi\sim 938$…
The existence of glueballs, bound states of gluons, is one of the basic predictions of QCD; the lightest state is expected to be a scalar. The experimental situation, however, is still ambiguous. The existence of f_0(1370) would point to a…
The gluonic widths of four leading glueball candidates are determined from their production in radiative quarkonium decays, allowing quantitative estimation of their glue content. Lattice predictions for the scalar and tensor channels seem…
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,…
