Abstract
In a potential model for glueballs, with a dynamical gluon mass m500 MeV, the masses of the low-lying three-gluon glueballs (with JPC=0-+, 1 - , and 3 - ) are found to be approximately degenerate 4.8m 2.4 GeV. The c', ' decays are used to extract mixing of three-gluon 0-+ and 1 - glueballs with c and, respectively. The decays (2)'h+X (h=2) are suggested for experimentally studying the three-gluon continuum and three-gluon bound states. The three-gluon glueballs production rate via that mechanism as well as in pp, p, and collisions is estimated. The 1 - decays dominantly into, but also has reasonable decay widths for K*K» channels. The 0-+ glueball state decays dominantly into VV (V=). Its other important decay modes are found to be, V, and. © 1984 The American Physical Society.
