A new approach to problem of glueball search is presented. It refers to early J. Rosner's attempts to detect the tensor glueball. In the present description the glueball state is treated on equal footing with singlet $q\bar{q}$ one. Mixing…
We present a model for odd-$C$ (negative charge parity) glueballs with three constituent gluons. The model is an extension of a previous study of two-gluon glueballs. We show that, even if spin-1 gluons seem to reproduce properly the…
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…
I briefly review lattice QCD, the valence (quenched) approximation, and the application of both to the determination of the mass and two-body decay couplings of the lightest scalar glueball. Results in agreement with the observed properties…
Inspired in the AdS/CFT correspondence, a variety of holographic phenomenological models have been proposed in the last years to describe non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions. These models are denominated as AdS/QCD. In this work…
Mass ratios of glueballs predicted by the latest Lattice QCD calculations in the quenched approximation agree well with four prime experimental candidates.
Hybrid mesons occupy a unique position in the hadronic spectrum, offering a valuable insight into the non-perturbative nature of the glue field. Hybrid states with exotic $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers, such as the $1^{-+}$, $0^{+-}$ and…
We formulate a framework to determine the mass of glueball states of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory in the continuum. To this end we derive a Bethe-Salpeter equation for two gluon bound states including the effects of Faddeev-Popov ghosts.…
We apply, to the new OPAL data on V+A strange spectral functions, a suitable combination of QCD spectral sum rules directly sensitive to the combination of strange quark (m_s) and tachyonic gluon (\lambda^2) masses . Using the mean value of…
Production of $f_0(1710)$, a theoretical endeavor of pure scalar glueball state, is studied in detail from exclusive rare B decay within the framework of perturbative QCD. The branching fraction for $B^\pm \to K^{*\pm} f_0(1710) \to…
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…

Identification of glueballs -- bound states of gauge bosons in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) -- is a very important open question in dynamics of the strong interaction. The search for the glueball ground state, carrying scalar quantum…
We calculate masses of the light-quark hybrid mesons with the quantum number $0^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$ by using the QCD sum rules. Two kinds of the interpolated currents with the same quantum number are employed. We find that the approximately…
We compute the masses of the flavour singlet 0++ mesons using (n_f=2) unquenched lattice QCD with the Iwasaki and Wilson gauge actions. Both fermionic and glueball interpolating operators are used to create the states. The mass of the…
The formation and spectrum of two-particle bound states are investigated within a simple relativistic quantum field model with the Yukawa-type interaction. Within this approach, relatively weakly interacting quarks and gluons form stable…
We obtain a heavy glueball (much heavier than the ones studied by others which usually are in the range of 1-2 GeV) in a bag model calculation with exact discrete single particle states of gluons at finite temperature. This heavy glueball,…
We analyze the f_0(1810) state recently observed by the BES collaboration via radiative J/\psi decay to a resonant \phi\omega spectrum and confront it with DM2 data and glueball theory. The DM2 group only measured \omega\omega decays and…
It is shown that new data on the $(J^{PC}=2^{++})$-resonances in the mass range $M\sim1700-2400 $MeV support the linearity of the $(n,M^2)$-trajectories, where $n$ is the radial quantum number of quark--antiquark state. In this way all…
A new meson mass relation for meson nonet is given after considering mixing with glueball. The mixing between pseudoscalar mesons and pseudoscalar glueball will decrease the mass of glueball by about 500 Mev. So, according to the predicted…
