Nonlinear Regge trajectories and glueballs

Abstract

We apply a phenomenological approach based on nonlinear Regge trajectories to glueball states. The parameters, i.e., intercept and threshold, or trajectory termination point beyond which no bound states should exist, are determined from pomeron (scattering) data. Systematic errors inherent to the approach are discussed. We then predict masses of glueballs on the tensor trajectory. For comparison, the approach is applied to available quenched lattice data. We find a discrepancy between the lattice based thresholds and the pomeron threshold that we extract from data.
