We aim to explore the production rate of the pseudoscalar glueball in $J/\psi$ radiative decay by lattice QCD in quenched approximation. The calculation is performed on three anisotropic lattices with the spatial lattice spacing ranging…
We have performed a coupled channel study of the meson-meson S-waves involving isospins (I) 0, 1/2 and 3/2 up to 2 GeV. For the first time the channels \pi\pi, K\bar{K}, \eta\eta, \sigma\sigma, \eta\eta', \eta'\eta', \rho\rho, \omega\omega,…
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…
The recent data for $J/\psi$ hadronic decays from BES raise ``puzzles" about the scalar meson properties, which are different from the naive OZI rule expectation. In this work, we study the implications of a glueball-$Q\bar{Q}$ mixing…
Because glueballs are SU(3)_{Flavor} singlets, they are expected to couple equally to u,d, and s quarks, so that equal coupling strengths to \pi^+\pi^- and K^+K^- are predicted. However, we show that chiral symmetry implies the scalar…
Lattice gauge calculations predict the existence of glueballs. In particular a scalar glueball is firmly expected at a mass of about 1730 MeV. This prediction has led to an intense study of scalar isoscalar interactions and to the discovery…
In our phenomenological analysis of the spectroscopy of light scalar mesons we do not find compelling evidence for the existence of the low mass \kappa(900) or \sigma(600) states nor for f_0(1370) as single resonance. If the f_0(980) and…
The mixing angles between scalar isoscalar resonances and a scalar glueball are determined from their decays into two pseudoscalar mesons. For $f_0(1370)$ and $f_0(1500)$, at most a small glueball component is admitted by the data. The…
Scalar \cite{scalar_paper} and tensor \cite{tensor_paper} glueballs created in $J/\psi$ radiative decays are studied in quenched lattice QCD. Using two anisotropic lattices to approach the continuum limit, we compute the relevant form…
Basing on the results of the K-matrix fit of $(IJ^{PC}=00^{++})$ wave, we analyze the analytic structure of the amplitude and $q \bar q$/glueball content of resonances in the mass region 1200-1900 MeV, where an extra state for $q \bar…
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…
We explain the phi and t dependences of mesons with JPC = 0-+, 0++,1++, 2-+ and 2++ produced in the central region of pp collisions. For the 0++ and 2++ sector this reveals a systematic behaviour in the data that appears to distinguish…
The overpopulated isoscalar tensor states are sifted using Schwinger-type mass relations. Two solutions are found: one where the glueball is the fJ(2220), and one where the glueball is more distributed, with f2(1820) having the largest…
Mass spectrum of 0++ glueballs is produced using a dual supergravity theory we proposed for pure N=1 SU(N) gauge theory in four dimensions in the large N limit in the IR. The glueball states are expressed in terms of Whittaker functions.…
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 study glueballs on two $N_f=2+1$ RBC/UKQCD gauge ensembles with physical quark masses at two lattice spacings. The statistical uncertainties of the glueball correlation functions are considerably reduced through the cluster decomposition…
The present discussion focusses on the dominant production of the 0++ glueball in central collisions in the suppressed yet observable channel 0++ --> pi+ pi- l+ l-.
On the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave channel of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV) in the model-independent…
Data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 have been used to search for gamma gamma production of the glueball candidates f0(1500) and fJ(1710) via their decay to pi+pi-. No signal is observed and upper limits to the product of gamma gamma…
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…
