Vincent Mathieu (Univ. Valencia) Glueballs Spectroscopy February 2011 1 / 38 Introduction
QCD = gauge theory with the color group SU(3)
1 νµ X µ LQCD = − Tr Gµν G + q¯(γ Dµ − m)q 4 Gµν = ∂µAµ − ∂ν Aµ − ig[Aµ,Aν ]
Quark = fundamental representation 3 Gluon = Adjoint representation 8 Observable particles = color singlet 1
Mesons: 3 ⊗ 3¯ = 1 ⊕ 8 Baryons: 3 ⊗ 3 ⊗ 3 = 1 ⊕ 8 ⊕ 8 ⊕ 10 Glueballs: 8 ⊗ 8 = (1 ⊕ 8 ⊕ 27) ⊕ (8 ⊕ 10 ⊕ 10) 8 ⊗ · · · ⊗ 8 = 1 ⊕ 8 ⊕ ...
Three light quarks → nine0 ± mesons : 3π (I = 1) ⊕ 4K (I = 1/2) ⊕ 2η (I = 0) Glueball can mix with two isoscalars → glue content in η’s wave function and maybe a third isoscalar

Quenched Results
Investigation of the glueball spectrum (pure gluonic operators) on a lattice by Morningstar and Peardon, Phys. Rev. D60 (1999) 034509] Identification of 15 glueballs below 4 GeV
M(0++) = 1.730 ± 0.130 GeV M(0−+) = 2.590 ± 0.170 GeV M(2++) = 2.400 ± 0.145 GeV
Quenched approximation (gluodynamics) → mixing with quarks is neglected
Unquenched Results Lattice studies with nf = 2 exist. The lightest scalar would be sensitive to the inclusion of sea quarks but no definitive conclusion. Theoretical status of glueballs : V. M., N. Kochelev, V. Vento, “The Physics of Glueballs”, Int. J. Mod. Phys. E18 (2009) 1
