Description

The authors investigate the instanton effects to the mass of 0++ glueball by QCD sum rule approach. The instantons are assumed to be free from each other and be with definite density varying with their sizes. The authors find the upper bound of mass of the 0++ glueball is 1.3 GeV and very possibly the mass can be as low as 1 GeV. Besides, the instanton effects greatly improve the stability of the sum rule and overtake the contribution of quarks and gluons condensate. The centre size of instantons at 1/3 fm can give the stablest sum rule
