Gluelump spectrum in the QCD string model

The spectrum of gluons in the adjoint source field is computed analytically using the QCD string Hamiltonian, containing only one parameter - string t ension, fixed by meson and glueball spectrum. Spin splitting is shown to be small. A good agreement is observed with specially generated gluelump stat es measured on the lattice. The important role of gluelumps defining the be haviour of field-strength correlators is stressed and correspondence with e arlier computations of the latter is established.
