Excited Scalar Mesons and the Search for Glueballs

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss the importance of mixing between glueballs -- bound states of gluons -- and excited qˉq\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.
