Title: Using QCD counting rules to identify the production of gluonium

Abstract

The empirical identification of bound states of gluons has remained a central goal of hadron spectroscopy. We suggest an experimentally challenging, but model–independent way to assess which zero charge, isospin-zero mesons have a large gluonium light-front wave function component in the quark and gluon Fock space of QCD. Our method exploits QCD counting rules which relate the power-law fall-off of production amplitudes at high momentum transfer to the meson’s twist (dimension minus spin of its minimum interpolating operators). Scalar 0+ glueballs composed of two valence gluons with zero internal orbital angular momentum have twist τ=2.
