Excited vector mesons, some of which are predicted to include gluonic excitation in their wavefunctions, and certain classes of axial vector mesons, some of which are implicated in the decay of spin-exotic mesons, decay dominantly to…
The heavy quark expansion of Quantum Chromodynamics and the strong coupling flux tube picture of nonperturbative glue are employed to develop the phenomenology of hybrid meson decays. The decay mechanism explicitly couples gluonic degrees…
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):…
We present measurements of B-meson decays to the final states eta'rho, eta'f0, and eta'K*, where K* stands for a vector, scalar, or tensor strange meson. We observe a significant signal or evidence for eta'rho+ and all the eta'K* channels.…
We review the phenomenological and theoretical evidences for dynamical gluon mass generation and the main features of the glueball spectrum in (pure gauge) Yang-Mills theories. The mixing between glueball and conventional $\bar q q$ states…
An effective chiral lagrangian of order $p^2$, describing the interaction of light pseudoscalar (PS) mesons with $\eta'$-meson and PS-glueball, has been determined taking into consideration the renorm-group requirements imposed by QCD…
We study the vacuum properties of the pseudoscalar glueball and charmed mesons by using the so-called extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM). This model includes scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, as well as vector and axial-vector mesons. We…
The composition of the eta and eta' mesons has long been a source of discussion and is of current interest with new experimental results appearing. We investigate what can be learnt from a number of different processes: V to P gamma and P…
The vector glueball $O$, made of 3 valence gluons, is expected to be ``clean": it mixes less with quarkonia, but mediates OZI violations. The recent $0^{++} $ glueball candidate and the persistence of the $J/\psi, \psi' \to \rho\pi$ puzzle…
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.
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…

The decays of light vector mesons into three pseudoscalar mesons are calculated to leading order in the recently proposed counting scheme that is based on the hadrogenesis conjecture. Fully differential as well as integrated decay widths…
Given a resonance of known mass, width, and J^{PC}, we can determine its gluonic branching fraction, b(R->gg), from data on its production in radiative vector quarkonium decay, V -> gamma+R. For most resonances b(R->gg) is found to be…
Top-down holographic QCD models often work in the "probe" (or "quenched") limit, which assumes that the number of colors is much greater than the number of flavors. Relaxing this limit is essential to a fuller understanding of holography…
We extract the K+K- couplings of the isoscalar scalar mesons sigma/f_0(600) and f_0(980) from pi pi to pi pi / K K scatterings and found: |g_{sigma K+K-}|/ |g_{sigma pi+pi-}|= 0.8 and |g_{f_0 K+K-}|/ |g_{f_0 pi+pi-}|= 1.7. These results,…
The center-of-gravity rule is tested for heavy and light-quark mesons. In the heavy-meson sector, the rule is excellently satisfied. In the light-quark sector, the rule suggests that the $a_0(980)$ could be the spin-partner of $a_2(1320)$,…
The supernumerous eta(1405) is considered a strong candidate for the pseudoscalar glueball. In a phenomenological chiral approach, we consider a mixing scenario of bare pseudoscalar (n bar n) and (s bar s) quarkonia with the glueball. We…
The existence of hadrons containing gluons as constituent particles (like hybrid mesons) will involve the necessity to admit an hadronic spectroscopy beyond the naive quark model. In the QGC model, the lowest J^{PC}= 1^{-+} hybrid mesons…
The octet-singlet mixing angle $\theta_P$ in the pseudoscalar meson nonet is deduced from the rich set of accurate data on $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. Corrections due to non-ideal $\omega$-$\phi$ mixing have been…
