Considering the {iota}(1460) to be the physical glueball {ital G} and to mix with {eta}{prime}, we then find the mixing angle to be restricted to 0.15{gt}sin{theta}{sub 2}{gt}{minus}0.43 from the data of {pi}{sup 0},{eta},{eta}{prime}{r arrow}2{gamma} and the upper bound on {iota}(1460){r arrow}2{gamma}. The transition matrix element for {ital K}{sub {ital L}}{r arrow}G{sup 0} (bare glueball) is also computed (and found to be comparable to that for {ital K}{sub {ital L}}{r arrow}{pi}{sup 0}). These permit the glueball contribution to {ital K}{sub {ital L}}{r arrow}2{gamma} and {Delta}{ital m}{sub {ital K}{sub {ital L}}-{ital K}{sub {ital S}}} to be significant. Finally, for large mixing angles, the decay of {ital D}{sub {ital s}}{sup +} into a glueball is sizable, e.g., {ital B}({ital D}{sub {ital s}}{sup +}{r arrow}{iota}(1460){pi}{sup +}) can be as large as 1%, and searches for glueballs in these decays are highly desirable.
