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…
On the basis of the relation between values of the coupling constants determined from data fit it is concluded that the dominating constituent of the $\Theta$ meson is the glueball. The possibility that $\Theta$ meson decays into two…
Glueballs are particles whose valence degrees of freedom are gluons and therefore in their description the gauge field plays a dominant role. We review recent results in the physics of glueballs with the aim set on phenomenology and discuss…
BES data on $J/\psi \to \gamma (K^{\pm} K_S^0 \pi^{\mp})$ are presented. There is a strong peak due to $\eta(1440)/\iota$, which is fitted with a Breit-Wigner amplitude with $s$-dependent widths for decays to $K^*K$, $\kappa K$, $\eta…
Based on a sample of (10.09$\pm$0.04)$\times$10$^{9}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, a partial wave analysis of the decay $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma\eta\eta'$ is performed. An…
The possibility of Bloch oscillations for a degenerate and superfluid Fermi gas of atoms in an optical lattice is considered. For a one-component degenerate gas the oscillations are suppressed for high temperatures and band fillings. For a…
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…
We delve deeper into the potential composition of dark matter as stable scalar glueballs from a confining dark $SU(N)$ gauge theory, focusing on $N=\{3,4,5\}$. To predict the relic abundance of glueballs for the various gauge groups and…
We report the observation of a near-threshold enhancement in the omega-J/psi invariant mass distribution for exclusive B-->K omega J/psi decays. The results are obtained from a 253 fb-1 data sample that contains 275 million BB-bar meson…
Using 58 million $J/\psi$ events collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider, the decays $J/\psi\to \gamma\phi\rho$ and $J/\psi\to \gamma\omega\rho$ are searched for, and upper limits on their…
Using a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, a partial-wave analysis of the decay $\gamma\gamma\phi$ is performed to investigate the intermediate resonances in…
We study glueball $G$ production in gluonic penguin decay $B\to G + X_s$, using the next-to-leading order $b\to s g^*$ gluonic penguin interaction and effective couplings of a glueball to two perturbative gluons. Subsequent decays of a…
Both sigma and kappa are well established from E791 data on D->3pi and Ds->Kpipi and BES II data on J/Psi -> omega pi pi and KKpipi. These fits are accurately consistent with pipi and Kpi elastic scattering when one allows for the Adler…
Using a bound-state model of weakly bound gluons for glueballs made of two gluons and a natural generalization of the perturbative QCD formalism for exclusive hadronic processes, we present results for glueball production in radiative…
Belle data for the pi-pi mass spectrum in X(3872) -> pi-pi + JPsi are well fitted by rho + J/Psi with JPC = 1++, but are poorly fitted by the pi-pi S-wave. Formulae for partial wave amplitudes are given for all likely JPC and decay modes of…
We calculate the superfluid fraction of an interacting Fermi gas, in the presence of a one-dimensional periodic potential of strength $V_0$ and wave-vector $q$. Special focus is given to the unitary Fermi gas, characterized by the divergent…
We deduce the mass of the pseudoscalar glueball $G$ from an $\eta$-$\eta'$-$G$ mixing formalism based on the anomalous Ward identity for transition matrix elements. With the inputs from the recent KLOE experiment, we find a solution for the…
Belle data on gamma-gamma -> eta'-pi-pi are refitted using a broad J^{PC}=0^(-+) signal peaking in the mass range 2250-2300 MeV, but without \eta (1760). There is the possibility that this broad 0^(-+) signal may be identified with the…
According to the QCD expectations the lightest glueball should be a scalar particle (J^{PC}=0^{++}). Different scenarios have been considered for a classification of these states but -- despite considerable progress in recent years -- the…
Arguments are given that support the interpretation of the lattice QCD glueball and gluelump spectra in terms of bound states of massless constituent gluons with helicity-1. In this scheme, the mass hierarchy of the currently known…
