The existence of a glueball has been a tough work for many years study. Utilizing the well developed QCD theory for $B$ meson decays, we propose a new way to identify whether a scalar glueball existed or not. In the presence of mixing between glueballs and ordinary scalar mesons, we explore the possibility to extract the mixing parameters from semileptonic B decays and nonleptonic B decays. We also point out a clean way to identify a glueball through $B_c$ decays.
We study the mixing of the scalar glueball into the isosinglet mesons $f_0 (1370)$, $f_0(1500)$, and $f_0(1710)$ to describe the two-body decays to pseudoscalars. We use an effective Hamiltonian and employ the two-angle mixing scheme for $η$ and $η'$. In this framework, we analyse existing data and look forward to new data into $η$ and $η'$ channels. For now, the $f_0 (1710)$ has the largest glueball component and a sizable branching ratio into $ηη'$, testable at BESIII.
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 decay modes of $f_0(1710)$, $f_0(1770)$, $f_0(2020)$, and $f_0(2100)$ require significant glueball fractions. Above this mass, the errors in the decay frequencies become too large to extract a glueball component. The summation of all observed glueball fractions up to 2100\,MeV yields (78\er18)\%. The glueball fractions as function of the mass are consistent with…
By relating the functional averages of a generic scalar operator in simulations with Open (O) and Periodic (P) boundary conditions (BCs) respectively for $SU(3)$ lattice gauge theory, we show that the scalar glueball mass and the glueball to vacuum matrix element can be extracted very efficiently from the former. Numerical results are compared with those extracted from the two point function of the time slice energy density (both PBC and OBC). The scaling properties of the mass and the matrix element are studied with the help of Wilson (gradient) flow.
We discuss the importance of mixing between glueballs -- bound states of gluons -- and excited $\bar{q}q$ states for the glueball search. A preliminary study of the excited states in the Extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM) suggests their masses in the scalar channel to be in the vicinity of the scalar-glueball mass found in Lattice QCD. This could have implications for future glueball searches.
We expand the study of the pseudoscalar glueball and its first excited state by constructing an interaction Lagrangian which produces the two- and three-body decays of the pseudoscalar glueball, $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, into the (pseudo)scalar and the excited (pseudo)scalar mesons as well as by constructing other two different chiral Lagrangians which describe the two- and three-body decays of the first excited pseudoscalar glueball, $J^{PC}=0^{*-+}$, into the (pseudo)scalar and the excited (pseudo)scalar mesons. We compute the decay channels for the ground state of a pseudoscalar glueball with a mass…
We study the interaction of scalar glueball with quark-antiquark and four-quark spinless meson fields within the framework of a generalized linear sigma model in which the trace anomaly of QCD is exactly realized. To determine the pure scalar glueball mass ($m_h$), we consider the decoupling limit in which the scalar glueball decouples from the meson fields. We find the exact relationship $m_h = 2\, h_0$ where $h_0$ is the vacuum expectation value of the scalar glueball field independent of the properties of the framework used.
Scalar glueball production in $J/ψ$ hadronic decays
北京谱仪（BES）最近获得的$J/ψ$强子衰变的实验数据提出了与朴素OZI规则不同的标量介子性质的“谜题”。本文研究了胶球- $Q\bar{Q}$混合方案对$J/ψ$强子衰变中标量介子产生的影响。结果表明，$J/ψ\to V f_0^i$（$i=1,2,3$分别对应于$f_0(1710)$、$f_0(1500)$和$f_0(1370)$）中的OZI破坏与标量介子波函数中强胶球- $Q\bar{Q}$混合的要求是一致的.
Scalar glueball is implemented in single nonet linear sigma model (SNLSM) which basically includes lowest lying scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. Our new version of SNLSM involves mixing among scalar matter fields and glueball field which is enforced by scale symmetry considerations and the associated anomaly. Performing iterative Monte Carlo simulations, it is found that among the three candidates of scalar glueball, i.e., $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$, only $f_0(1500)$ is predominately a glueball state with the mass prediction of $1.566 \pm 0.046$ GeV and the other two are predomina…
