Evidence for a glueball - q anti(q) filter

Description

QCD predicts that particles composed of bound states of gluons should exist. Experiments WA76, WA91 and WA102 have performed a dedicated search for these states using the CERN Omega Spectrometer. Evidence for a glueball - q anti(q) filter is presented based upon a kinematical cut on the difference in transverse momentum of the exchanged particles, dPT. It is shown that at small dPT undisputed q anti(q) mesons are suppressed, whereas glueball candidates are enhanced. (author)
