We obtain the spectrum of glueball masses for the N=1 non-conformal cascade theory whose supergravity dual was recently constructed by Klebanov and Strassler. The glueball masses are calculated by solving the supergravity equations of…
We expect that $BR(\chi_{c2}(2P)\to gluon\, gluon)\gtrsim 2 \%$ if Particle Data Group as well as BaBar and Belle collaboration correctly identified the state. In reality, this branching ratio corresponds to the one for $\chi_{c2}(2P)$…

We study the interactions of the pseudoscalar glueball with scalar and pseudoscalar quark-antiquark meson fields and with the nucleon and its chiral partner. In both cases we introduce the corresponding chiral Lagrangian and discuss its…
Calculations in unquenched QCD for the scalar glueball spectrum have confirmed previous results of Gluodynamics finding a glueball at ~ 1750 MeV. I analyze the implications of this discovery from the point of view of glueball-meson mixing…
In this paper we study the spectra of glueballs on the Klebanov-Strassler background and its extension to the baryonic branch. We numerically calculate the mass spectrum of glueballs from the spin 2 ``gravity'' multiplet, which contains the…

Glueball spectrum is studied using an improved gluonic action on asymmetric lattices in the pure SU(3) gauge theory. The smallest spatial lattice spacing is about $0.08fm$ which makes the extrapolation to the continuum limit more reliable.…
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 existence of a glueball has been a tough work for many years study. Utilizing the well developed QCD theory for $B$ meson decays, we propose a new way to identify whether a scalar glueball existed or not. In the presence of mixing…
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 $m_{O} \simeq m_{J/\psi}$.
