Abstract

The vector glueball O, made of 3 valence gluons, is expected to be “clean”: it mixes less with quarkonia, but mediates OZI violations. The recent 0++ glueball candidate and the persistence of the J/ψ,ψρπ puzzle suggest mOmJ/ψ, with mixing angle 2°4°; hence, Γ(Oρπ, K+K, e+e)MeV, few keV, few eV. Lower and upper bounds on ΓO can be argued from e+eρπ energy scan data and the condition B(Oρπ)>B(J/ψρπ). O dominance may explain the “large” OZI violation in 1S0(p)φγ vs ωγ.

  9. Besides the constituent gluon picture, various arguments (such as lattice; see, e.g., Ref. [3]) suggest that the lowest-lying 1 glueball has more complicated structure compared to 0++ and 2++ counterparts, and hence is heavier and harder to produce.

  20. If the limits of Eq. (2) continue to drop, perhaps one should check whether fOψ/fOψ is also suppressed [10]; i.e., the overlaps ψ|O and ψ|O should be calculated.

  22. To conform with Eq. (3), the premixed 0++ glueball should lie between 1450 and 1530 MeV. Hence, we prefer f0(1500) over f0(1720) as the scalar glueball. However, uncertainties in the potential model should be no less than the lattice case.
