I review some recent results on hadronic decays of charmed mesons. These decays illuminate a wide range of physics, including the absolute normalizations of b and c decays, the understanding of D^0 mixing, the coupling of heavy mesons to…
We review the current status of theories and experiments aiming at an understanding and a determination of the properties of light vector and scalar mesons inside strongly interacting hadronic matter, with an emphasis on linking calculated…
The lightest scalar glueball and ground state hybrids may have been found. I compare signals reported at this conference with theoretical expectations and highlight the questions that need to be addressed in forthcoming experiments.
We discuss a notion of gluon-glueball duality analogous to quark-hadron duality. We apply this idea to the radiative decay of heavy orthoquarkonium, $Q\bar Q \to \gamma g g$, which has been used to search for glueballs. The duality is first…
This is a contribution to the review "50 Years of Quantum Chromdynamics" edited by F. Gross and E. Klempt [arXiv:2212.11107], to be published in EPJC. The contribution remembers the early searches and explains how to find a glueball, based…
The indirect evidence for gluonic objects in gluon jets is recalled, more accurate tests at the LHC are possible. Estimates of gluonic and quarkonic components of scalar mesons are presented, which could be improved by further studies, in…
We continue the study of flavor aspects of strong interaction. The answer to the question of glueball existence is probably a necessary step in this investigation. The existence of the glueball implies the existence of the decuplet. The…
The status of some of the recently discovered heavy hadrons is presented.
Glueballs and other resonances with large gluonic components are predicted as bound states by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The lightest (scalar) glueball is estimated to have a mass in the range from 1 to 2 GeV/c**2; a pseudoscalar and…
In the context of a chiral hadronic model, we compute the decay ratio of a tensor glueball decaying into a nucleon and antinucleon compared to the decay into 2 pions. Tensor meson dominance is assumed to also hold for the tensor glueball in…
The recent BESIII announcement of a pseudoscalar glueball candidate makes an update on glueballs from lattice QCD timely. A brief review of how glueballs are studied in lattice QCD is given, and the reasons that glueballs are difficult to…
We present a short survey of the theoretical expectations on glueballs and hybrids as well as of the present phenomenological status. The possibility to obtain new information on gluonic mesons from the study of gluon jets in comparison to…
In this talk I give a short review of theoretical results on the properties of hadrons in cold, equilibrium nuclear matter. I then discuss the observable consequences of any changes of these properties inside the medium in actual…
I review recent Lattice results. In particular, the confinement mechanism and string breaking, glueballs and hybrid mesons as well as light hadron spectroscopy are discussed.
Glueballs remain an experimentally undiscovered prediction of QCD. Lattice QCD predicts a spectrum of glueballs, with the tensor $(J^{PC}=2^{++})$ glueball being the second lightest, behind the scalar glueball. From an effective hadronic…
Several particles are not observed directly, but only through their decay products. We consider the possibility that they might be fakeons, i.e. fake particles, which mediate interactions but are not asymptotic states. A crucial role to…
The spectrum of the glueball with $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ is computed using different bottom-up holographic models of QCD. The results indicate a lowest-lying state lighter than in the determination by other methods, with mass $m \simeq 2.8$ GeV.…
In these lectures I discuss the impact of soft hadronic physics on predictions for B decays. Unfortunately our tools for calculating these effects are limited; even after the use of the best available tools the resulting theoretical…
We review the present level of knowledge of the hadronic structure of the photon, as revealed in interactions involving quarks and gluons ``in" the photon. The concept of photon structure functions is introduced in the description of…
Lattice QCD determinations appropriate to hadron spectroscopy are reviewed with emphasis on the glueball and hybrid meson states in the quenched approximation. Hybrids are discussed for heavy and for light quarks. The effects of sea quarks…
