The Particle Data Group decided to split the $\eta(1440)$ into two states, called $\eta_L$ and $\eta_H$. The $\eta(1295)$ and the $\eta_H$ are supposed to be the radial excitations of the $\eta$ and $\eta'$, respectively. The $\eta_L$ state…
The nature of $\iota/\eta(1440)$ is analysed in the framework of the hypothesis that it represents a single pseudoscalar resonance. Assuming that it arises due to the mixing between the glueball and the $q\bar q$ nearby states ($\eta$,…
It is reported on a leading-twist analysis of the eta - photon and eta' - photon transition form factors. The analysis allows for an estimate of the lowest Gegenbauer coefficients of the quark and gluon distribution amplitudes.
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 eta(1760) may be significantly produced in J/Psi radiative decay. We deduce from experimental data that its branching ratio to two gluons is bounded, 0.4 +- 0.3 < BR(eta(1760) -> gg) < 0.9 +- 0.3, consistent with gluonic admixture.…
We discuss gamma gamma partial widths of pseudoscalar/isoscalar mesons eta(M) in the mass region M = 1000-1500 MeV. The transition amplitudes eta(1295) -> gamma gamma and eta(1440) -> gamma gamma are studied within an assumption that the…
We compute power-suppressed corrections to the \eta\gamma and \eta^{\prime}\gamma transition form factors Q^2F_{\eta(\eta^{\prime})\gamma}(Q^2) arising from the end point regions x \to 0,1 by employing the infrared-renormalon approach. The…
The Kawai model describing the glueball-quarkonia mixing is modified. The mixing of $\eta$, $\eta^\prime$ and $\eta(1410)$ is re-investigated based on the modified Kawai model. The glueball-quarkonia content of the three states is…
The study of light pseudoscalar quark-antiquark bound states in the Dyson-Schwinger approach with the effective QCD coupling enhanced by the interplay of the dimension 2 gluon condensate <A^2> and dimension 4 gluon condensate <F^2>, is…
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…
The $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ pseudoscalar mixing angle and the gluonium content of the $\eta^\prime$ meson are deduced from an updated phenomenological analysis of $V\to P\gamma$ and $J/\psi\to VP$ decays. In absence of gluonium, the value of…
The $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ pseudoscalar mixing angle and the gluonium content of the $\eta^\prime$ meson are deduced from an updated phenomenological analysis of $J/\psi$ decays into a vector and a pseudoscalar meson. In absence of gluonium,…
Masses of the eta and eta-prime mesons are estimated in Nf=2+1 lattice QCD with the non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson quark action and the Iwasaki RG-improved gluon action, using CP-PACS/JLQCD configurations on a 16^3 x 32 lattice at…
A phenomenological analysis of radiative $V\to P\gamma$ and $P\to V\gamma$ decays is performed with the purpose of determining the gluonic content of the $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ wave functions. Our results show that within our model there…
We review the present understanding of etaprime and eta meson physics and these mesons as a probe of gluon dynamics in low-energy QCD. Recent highlights include the production mechanism of eta and etaprime mesons in proton-nucleon…
The $eta_L(1410)$ component of the $\eta(1440)$ pseudoscalar has strong affinity for glue. But its mass is incompatible with lattice simulations that predict a much higher value for the $0^{-+}$ glueball. As a consequence it has been…
In this letter, we propose that a proper constituent gluon mass $m_g$=450 MeV can be applied to identify the hybrids composed of quarks and gluons. By investigating the spectra and decay widths of the light hybrids $(q\bar{q}g)$ with…
It has been realized for a long time that knowing the eta and eta^prime wave functions in terms of quark and gluon components probes our understanding of non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Great effort has been given to this challenge -- yet no…
The large mass of the $\eta'$ meson indicates that a sizeable gluon component is present in the meson wave function. However, the $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ decays to $\eta'$ mesons, which proceed via a purely gluonic intermediate state…
