Phenomenology of Spin Zero Mesons and Glueballs
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the phenomenology of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, emphasizing those which do not carry manifest flavor quantum numbers. Many of the properties of these mesons are still not fully understood. Some of them probably do not have the usual two-quark (quark-antiquark) structure, but may be mixed with glueball states or other exotics. We construct or discuss simple models for these mesons and point out which measurements can shed light on their composition. 2

Desy 02-194 the Phenomenology of Glueball and Hybrid Mesons
The existence of non-qq̄ hadrons such as glueballs and hybrids is one of the most important qualitative questions in QCD. The COMPASS experiment offers the possibility to unambiguously identify such states and map out the glueball and hybrid spectrum. In this review I discuss the expected properties of glueballs and hybrids and how they might be produced and studied by the COMPASS collaboration.

Nonperturbative QCD approach is systematically derived starting from the QCD Lagrangian. Treating spin effects as a perturbation, one obtains the universal effective Hamiltonian describing mesons, hybrids and glueballs. Constituent mass of quark and gluon is calculated via string tension. The resulting spectrum of mesons, hybrids and glueballs obtained is in good overall agreement with lattice ...
متن کاملquark model study of the meson spectra
The q ¯ q spectrum is studied in a generalized constituent quark model constrained in the study of the N N phenomenology and the baryon spectrum. An overall good fit to the available experimental data is obtained. A detailed analysis of all sectors from the light-pseudoscalar and vector mesons to bottomonium is performed paying special attention to the existence and nature of some non well-esta...
متن کاملGlueball Spectroscopy in Regge Phenomenology *
We show that linear Regge trajectories for mesons and glueballs, and the cubic mass spectrum associated with them, determine a relation between the masses of the ρ meson and the scalar glueball, M (0 ++) = 3/ √ 2 M (ρ), which implies M (0 ++) = 1620 ± 10 MeV. We also discuss relations between the masses of the scalar and The existence of a gluon self-coupling in QCD suggests that, in addition t...
متن کاملHunting the Scalar Glueball: Prospects for BES III
The search for the ground state scalar glueball G0 is reviewed. Spin zero glueballs will have unique dynamical properties if the < G0|qq > amplitude is suppressed by chiral symmetry, as it is to all orders in perturbation theory: for instance, mixing of G0 with qq mesons would be suppressed, radiative Ψ decay would be a filter for new physics in the spin zero channel, and the decay G0 → KK coul...
