The extraction of hadron matrix elements in lattice QCD using the standard two- and three-point correlator functions demands careful attention to systematic uncertainties. One of the most commonly studied sources of systematic error is…
The mixing between the $f_2(1270)$, the $f_2(1525)$, and the $2^{++}$ glueball is determined and tested. The mass and the hadronic decay widths of the $G_2$ and the branching ratio $B(J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma G_2)$ are predicted.
We study the glueballs in a four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ super Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matters in terms of the supergravity dual. The supergravity background is constructed by $N$ D3 brane with a probe D7 brane. We numerically…
