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 analyze the mass spectroscopy of low and high mass scalar mesons and get the result that the coupling strengths of the mixing between low and high mass scalar mesons are very strong and the strengths of mixing for $I=1, 1/2$ scalar…
Scalar glueball is implemented in single nonet linear sigma model (SNLSM) which basically includes lowest lying scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. Our new version of SNLSM involves mixing among scalar matter fields and glueball field which is…
The scalar glueball is observed in a coupled-channel analysis of the $S$-wave amplitude from BESIII data on radiative $J/\psi$ decays and further data. Ten scalar isoscalar resonances were required to fit the data. Five of them were…
The pseudoscalar tensor states, $\pi_2$, $\eta_2$, and $K_2$, are systematically studied through the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka- allowed two-body strong decays, including both the observed states reported by the Particle Data Group and the…
A phenomenological analysis of the scalar glueball and scalar meson spectra is carried out by using the AdS/QCD framework in the bottom-up approach. The resulting spectra are in good agreement for glueballs with lattice QCD results and for…
In heavy ion collision simulations many hadron states and/or parton degrees of freedom are included in order to obtain the observables. Meson spectroscopy, for example, considers the $0^{++}$ meson as a mixture of $q\bar{q}$ and glue. This…
In our phenomenological analysis of the spectroscopy of light scalar mesons we do not find compelling evidence for the existence of the low mass \kappa(900) or \sigma(600) states nor for f_0(1370) as single resonance. If the f_0(980) and…
The observation of $\pi_1(1600) \to \pi \rho$ is shown in the flux-tube model to be compatible with this state being a hybrid meson with branching ratio to this channel $\sim 30%$. The $\pi \rho$ widths of other hybrids are related by…
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…
Cabibbo-allowed charmed meson decays into a pseudoscalar meson and an axial-vector meson are studied. The charm to axial-vector meson transition form factors are evaluated in the Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise quark model. The dipole momentum…
We study the semileptonic decays of $B^-\to f_0(1710\,,1500\,,1370) e^-\bar \nu_e$, in which the three $f_0$ states mix with glueball, $\bar s s$ and $(\bar u u+\bar d d)/\sqrt 2$ states, respectively. By averaging the mixings fitted in the…
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…
The angular analysis of exclusive rare B-meson decays via intermediate vector mesons V into 4-body final states of two pseudo-scalars P_1, P_2 and a pair of light leptons l = e, mu offers a large set of observables. They can be used to test…
We compute from lattice QCD in the valence (quenched) approximation the partial decay widths of the lightest scalar glueball to pairs of pseudoscalar quark-antiquark states. These predictions and values obtained earlier for the scalar…
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…
Results are reported on a search for decays of a pseudoscalar A boson into a Z boson and a light scalar h boson, where the Z boson decays into a pair of oppositely-charged electrons or muons, and the h boson decays into b anti-b. The search…
We provide a new, independent, and analytic estimate of the lowest glueball mass, and we found it at 1661 MeV within a relativistic quantum-field model based on analytic confinement. The conventional mesons and the weak decay constants are…
We study the decays of the lightest axial-vector and pseudovector mesons, interpreted as quark-antiquark states, into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. We show that the quarkonium assignment delivers a good description of the decays and…
We have previously proposed a light pseudoscalar Higgs boson in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM), the A_1^0, as a candidate to explain the HyperCP observations in Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^-. In this paper we calculate…
