A comprehensive lattice study of SU(3) glueballs

Abstract

We present a study of the $SU(3)$ glueball spectrum for all $J^{PC}$ values at lattice spacings down to $a^{-1}=3.73(6)$ GeV ($\beta =6.4$) using lattices of size up to $32^4$. We extend previous studies and show that the continuum limit has effectively been reached. The number of clearly identified $J^{PC}$ states has been substantially increased. There are no clear signals for spin-exotic glueballs below 3 GeV. A comparison with current experimental glueball candidates is made.
