We evaluate the infinite volume, continuum limit of glueball masses in the valence (quenched) approximation to lattice QCD. For the lightest scalar and tensor states we obtain masses of $1648 \pm 58$ MeV and $2267 \pm 104$ MeV,…
We study the spectra of two-gluon glueballs and three-gluon oddballs and corresponding equation of state in $5$-dimensional deformed holographic QCD models in the graviton-dilaton system, where the metric, the dilaton field and dilaton…
We revisit the possibility that Dark Matter is composed of stable scalar glueballs of a confining dark ${\rm SU}(3)$ gauge theory coupled only to gravity. The relic abundance of dark glueballs is studied for the first time in a thermal…
Existence of gluonic resonances is among the early expectations of QCD. Today, QCD calculations predict the lightest glueball to be a scalar state with mass within a range of about 900-1700 MeV but there is no consensus about its…
An unambiguous identification of glueballs in experiments will be of great significance, because their existence is an important test of QCD. The proposal, advanced here, is to experimentally search for glueballs as peaks in the invariant…
Calculations in unquenched QCD for the scalar glueball spectrum have confirmed previous results of Gluodynamics finding a glueball at ~ 1750 MeV. I analyze the implications of this discovery from the point of view of glueball-meson mixing…
The phenomena of strong running coupling and hadron mass generating have been studied in the framework of a QCD-inspired relativistic model of quark-gluon interaction with infrared confined propagators. We derived a meson mass equation and…
It is shown that the eigenstates of the quantized simplest closed (elliptic) Nambu -- Goto string, called glueballs, have quantum numbers I^Gj^{PC}=0^+j^{++}. Lightest glueballs have spins j=0,1 and 2 and the same mass 1500 +/- 20 MeV. They…
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…
The lowest-lying glueballs are investigated in lattice QCD using $N_f=2$ clover Wilson fermion on anisotropic lattices. We simulate at two different and relatively heavy quark masses, corresponding to physical pion mass of $m_\pi\sim 938$…
The scalar glueball, the lightest state in the gluonic Yang-Mills (YM) sector of QCD, is stable in that framework. The scattering of two scalar glueballs is therefore a well defined process in YM, which can be studied with the tools of…
Calculations within QCD (lattice and sum rules) find the lightest glueball to be a scalar and with mass in the range of about 1000-1700 MeV. Several phenomenological investigations are discussed which aim at the identification of the scalar…
With appropriate interpolating currents the mass spectra of $0^{+-}$, $1^{-+}$, and $2^{+-}$ oddballs are studied in the framework of QCD sum rules (QCDSR). We find there exits one stable $0^{+-}$ oddball with mass of $4.57 \pm 0.13 \,…
The mass spectrum of the gluonium with $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ is examined in three bottom-up AdS/QCD models. The results are used to identify several production and decay modes useful for searching this state. Moreover, the properties of such…
The properties of the $0^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$ meson multiplets are discussed. Quoted are the $0^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$ glueball masses determined from data fit.
In this paper, I review the experimental situation for both glueballs and hybrid mesons. Theoretical expectations are discussed, and a survey of what is known about hybrid mesons and glueballs is undertaken. Good experimental evidence…
In this talk the pomeron conjecture is reviewed and constituent gluon models are derived. In a simple two-gluon glueball spectrum the pomeron trajectory and the daughter trajectories are computed. The open problems of two-gluon glueballs…
In the framework of the conjectured duality relation between large $N$ gauge theory and supergravity the spectra of masses in large $N$ gauge theory can be determined by solving certain eigenvalue problems in supergravity. In this paper we…
Building on earlier results on holographic bulk dynamics in confining gauge theories, we compute the spin-0 and spin-2 spectra of gauge theories dual to the non-singular Maldacena-Nunez and Klebanov-Strassler supergravity backgrounds. We…
We analyse the sum rules describing the action and energy in the colour fields around glueballs, torelons and static potentials.
