Glueballs in charmonia radiative decays

Abstract

Scalar \cite{scalar_paper} and tensor \cite{tensor_paper} glueballs created in $J/ψ$ radiative decays are studied in quenched lattice QCD. Using two anisotropic lattices to approach the continuum limit, we compute the relevant form factors responsible for the decay rates for $J/ψ\rightarrowγG_{0^{++}}$ and $J/ψ\rightarrowγG_{2^{++}}$. Comparing with the existing experimental data, it is argued that $f_0(1710)$ is a favorable candidate for scalar glueball. The decay rate for $J/ψ\rightarrowγG_{2^{++}}$ is found to be quite substantial. A comprehensive search in the tensor channel on BESIII is therefore suggested.
