Abstract

We give an overview of results for the quenched glueball spectrum from two-body bound state equations based on the 3PI effective action. The setup, which uses self-consistently calculated two- and three-point functions as input, is completely self-contained and does not have any free parameters except for the coupling. The results for JPC = 0±+, 2±+, 3±+, 4±+ are in good agreement with recent lattice results where available. For the pseudoscalar glueball, we present first results from a two-loop complete calculation, rendering also the bound state calculation fully self-consistent.

Highlights

  • The spectrum of bound states in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is both experimentally and theoretically not completely known yet

  • Bound states of gluons, belong to the latter class. They can be investigated by ongoing and future experiments like ATLAS, BESIII, PANDA or Glue-X. Their masses were calculated with several methods, but a consensus only exists for the case of quenched QCD, viz., QCD with infinitely heavy quarks

  • We summarize the results for the glueball masses in Tab. 1 and Fig. 5
