Scalar Glueball-qqbar Mixing above 1 GeV and implications for Lattice QCD
F. E. Close, A. Kirk
Lattice QCD predictions have motivated several recent studies of the mixing between the predicted JPC = 0++ glueball and a qqbar nonet in the 1.3 to 1.7 GeV region. We show that re…
The mixing of the f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) and the search for the scalar glueball
A. Kirk
For the first time a complete data set of the two-body decays of the f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710) into all pseudoscalar mesons is available. The implications of these data for t…
Isospin breaking exposed in f0(980)- a0(980) mixing
F. E. Close, A. Kirk
We suggest that mixing between the f0(980) and a0(980), due to their dynamical interaction with the nearby KKbar thresholds, can give rise to a significantly enhanced production ra…

F. E. Close, A. Kirk

Dynamics of Glueball and qqbar production in the central region of pp collisions
F. E. Close, A. Kirk, G. Schuler
We explain the phi and t dependences of mesons with JPC = 0-+, 0++,1++, 2-+ and 2++ produced in the central region of pp collisions. For the 0++ and 2++ sector this reveals a syste…
Is a Scalar Glueball?
Claude Amsler, Frank Close
Following the discovery of two new scalar mesons, and at the Low Energy Antiproton Ring at CERN, we argue that the observed properties of this pair are inco…
