Description

The ηL(1410) component of the η(1440) pseudoscalar has strong affinity for glue. But its mass is incompatible with lattice simulations that predict a much higher value for the 0-+ glueball. Consequently it has been suggested that ηL(1410) signals physics beyond the Standard Model. Here we argue that if glueballs are closed gluonic fluxtubes then ηL(1410) is a prime candidate for the 0-+ glueball
