The previous results of J/psi radiative decays from MARKIII, DM2, Crystal Ball and BESI are briefly reviewed in this talk. The main part of this talk focuses on presenting the recent results from BESII 58 million J/psi data, including the…
Radiative phi decays give us an excellent opportunity to study scalar and pseudoscalar meson below 1 GeV. In this paper, results from different experiments are reviewed and compared.
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…
I present a short review of the current understanding of the scalar meson sector, with special attention to the problem of the low-mass $\sigma$. The dispersion relation $N/D$-method used for the restoration of the low-energy $\pi\pi$…
The search for the ground state scalar glueball G_0 is reviewed. Spin zero glueballs will have unique dynamical properties if the <G_0|\bar qq> amplitude is suppressed by chiral symmetry, as it is to all orders in perturbation theory: for…
Based on a sample of (10.09$\pm$0.04)$\times$10$^{9}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, a partial wave analysis of the decay $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma\eta\eta'$ is performed. An…
Within a nonlinear chiral Lagrangian framework, the underlying mixings among quark-antiquark, four-quark and glue components of $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ are studied in a global picture that includes all isosinglet scalar mesons below 2…
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…
For the first time a complete data set of the two-body decays of the f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) into all pseudoscalar mesons is available. The implications of these data for the flavour content for these three f0 states is studied. We…

We present a two-flavour linear sigma model with global chiral symmetry and (axial-)vector mesons as well as an additional glueball degree of freedom. We study the structure of the well-established scalar resonances f0(1370) and f0(1500):…
Recently, the BES collaboration has published an extensive partial wave analysis of experimental data on J/psi -> phi pi+pi-, J/psi -> omega pi+pi-, J/psi -> phi K+K- and J/psi -> omega K+K-. These new results are analyzed here, with full…
The scalar meson f_0(1370) - indicated in particular in the low energy p\bar p \to 3 body reactions - is a crucial element in certain schemes of the scalar meson spectroscopy including glueballs. The most definitive results can be obtained…
A scaled SU(3) Nambu - Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian is used to compute the mass of the nine scalar mesons in the vacuum and the mass of the gluball. It is shown that a suitable choice of the vacuum gluon condensate allows to reproduce the…
We study three different chiral Lagrangians that describe the two- and three-body decays of an excited pseudoscalar glueball, $J^{PC}=0^{*-+}$, into light mesons and charmonium states as well as into a scalar and pseudoscalar glueball. We…
The holographic Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model is an almost parameter-free approximation to large-N QCD with chiral quarks that in a number of cases gives surprisingly good quantitative results for light meson physics. It also allows for…
Based on a sample of $2.25\times 10^{8} J/\psi$ events taken with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we present the results of a study of the decay $J/\psi\to \eta \phi\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$. The $Y(2175)$ resonance is observed in the…
Partial wave analysis of the reactions p anti-p -> pi-pi, eta-eta, eta-eta' in the region of invariant masses 1900-2400 MeV indicates to the existence of four relatively narrow tensor-isoscalar resonances f_2(1920), f_2(2020), f_2(2240),…
