We estimate the I=0 scalar meson sigma/f_0(600) parameters from pi-pi and gamma-gamma scattering data below 700 MeV using an improved analytic K-matrix model. A fit of the hadronic data gives a complex pole mass M_sigma= 422-i290 MeV, while…
We present numerical results in SU(2) lattice gauge theory for the instantaneous part of the gluon propagator in Coulomb gauge D_{44, inst} = V_{coul}(R) \delta(t). Data are taken on lattice volumes 24^4 and 28^4 for 7 values of beta in the…
A gauge invariant, non-local observable is constructed in pure gauge theory, which is identical to the gluon propagator in a particular gauge, permitting to define a non-perturbative parton mass for the gluon. This mass can be shown to be…
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…
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…
We present a detailed study of the interactions among scalar and pseudoscalar mesons and glueballs within the framework of the generalized linear sigma model in the SU(3) flavor limit. The basis of our approach is to develop a global…

An effective meson Lagrangian including a scalar glueball is constructed on the base of $U(3)\times U(3)$ chiral symmetry. The glueball is introduced into the meson Lagrangian by using the principle of scale invariance of an effective…
Lattice QCD predictions have motivated several recent studies of the mixing between the predicted JPC = 0++ glueball and a qqbar nonet in the 1.3 to 1.7 GeV region. We show that results from apparently different approaches have some common…
We prove a theorem in QCD stating that in the limit of strong coupling, $g\to\infty$, the observed spectrum of glueballs in QCD is the same of a pure Yang-Mills theory, being mixing effects due to the next-to-leading order. A full effective…
We develop a unified framework in which the dynamics of a scalar glueball field, originating from phenomenological nonperturbative QCD confinement, simultaneously governs the deconfinement transition of strongly interacting matter and…
This contribution presents the running triple-gluon-vertex coupling constant, g_lambda, in Hamiltonians for the gluons that are characterized by the size 1/lambda. The coupling constant is obtained from renormalization group equations for…
Within a nonlinear chiral Lagrangian framework, the underlying mixings among quark-antiquark, four-quark and glue components of $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ are studied in a global picture that includes all isosinglet scalar mesons below 2…
By superposition of regular gauge instantons or merons, ensembles of gauge fields are constructed which describe the confining phase of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. Various properties of the Wilson loops, the gluon condensate and the…
We study the scalar, vector and tensor two-gluon and trigluon glueball spectra in the framework of 5-dimension dynamical holographic QCD model, where the metric structure is deformed self-consistently by the dilaton field. For comparison,…

By the quenched lattice QCD simulation for two nucleons with finite scattering energy, validity of the delivative expansion of the general nucleon-nucleon potential U(r,r') = V(r, {\nabla}_r) \delta^3(r-r') is studied. The relative kinetic…
We propose an efficient way to obtain a correct Veneziano-Yankielowicz type integration constant of the effective glueball superpotential $W_{eff}(S,g,\Lambda)$, even for massless theories. Applying our method, we show some $\mathcal{N} =…
We calculate the light `glueball' mass spectrum in N_f=2 lattice QCD using a fermion action that is non-perturbatively O(a) improved. We work at lattice spacings a ~0.1 fm and with quark masses that range down to about half the strange…
