New glueball-meson mass relations - art. no. 114015

Using the "glueball dominance'' picture of the mixing between q (q) over ba r mesons of different hidden flavors, we establish new glueball-meson mass relations which serve as a basis for glueball spectral systematics. For the tensor glueball mass 2.3+/-0.1 GeV used as an input parameter, these relat ions predict the following glueball masses: M(0(++))similar or equal to 1.6 5+/-0.05 GeV, M(1(--))similar or equal to 3.2+/-0.2 GeV, M(2(-+))similar or equal to 2.95+/-0.15 GeV, and M(3(--)) similar or equal to 2.8+/-0.15 GeV. We briefly discuss the failure of such relations for the pseudoscalar sect or. Our results are consistent with (quasi)linear Regge trajectories for gl ueballs with a slope similar or equal to 0.3+/-0.1 GeV-2 [S0556-2821(98)102 21-7].
