We discuss graviton dark radiation produced by the decay of a secluded scalar field that couples to the Standard Model (SM) only through gravity. Such scalar fields are long-lived, and their decay channels generically include gravitons. If…

Using flavor SU(3) symmetry for the light quarks validated by the available experimental data, we propose an intuitive way to hunt for a scalar glueball in B decays. In the presence of mixing between the glueball and ordinary scalar mesons,…

We develop a unified framework in which the dynamics of a scalar glueball field, originating from phenomenological nonperturbative QCD confinement, simultaneously governs the deconfinement transition of strongly interacting matter and…
Computations in the quenched approximation on the lattice predict the lightest glueball to be a scalar in the 1.5-1.8 GeV region. Here we calculate the dynamical effect the coupling to two pseudoscalars has on the mass, width and decay…
We elaborate on the hypothesis that in high energy hadron hadron and nucleus nucleus collisions the lowest mass glueballs are copiously produced from the gluon rich environment especially at high energy density. We discuss the particular…
Ground-state scalar isoscalar mesons and a scalar glueball are described in a U(3)xU(3) chiral quark model of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type with 't Hooft interaction. The latter interaction produces singlet-octet mixing in the scalar…
We report the first search for the $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ glueball in $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $\Upsilon(2S)$ decays with data samples of $(102\pm2)$ million and $(158\pm4)$ million events, respectively, collected with the Belle detector. No significant…
We present a study of the $SU(3)$ glueball spectrum for all $J^{PC}$ values at lattice spacings down to $a^{-1}=3.73 (6)$ GeV ($\beta=6.4$) using lattices of size up to $32^4$. We extend previous studies and show that the continuum limit…
The $eta_L(1410)$ component of the $\eta(1440)$ pseudoscalar has strong affinity for glue. But its mass is incompatible with lattice simulations that predict a much higher value for the $0^{-+}$ glueball. As a consequence it has been…
I present a mini-review of the masses and couplings of the bare (unmixed) light scalar mesons : $\bar qq, (\overline{qq})(qq), (\bar qq)(\bar qq), gg$ from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and low-energy theorems (LET) which we compare with…
Lattice computations with excited SU(3) representations suggest that the confining gluon-gluon interaction complies with the Casimir scaling. The constituent gluon models have also been assuming the Casimir scaling. Inspired in type-II…
We formulate an extended linear $\sigma$ model of a quarkonia nonet and a tetraquark nonet as well as a complex iso-singlet (glueball) field to study the low-lying scalar meson. Chiral symmetry and $U_A(1)$ symmetry and their breaking play…
