An Experimental Overview of Gluonic Mesons

In this paper, I review the experimental situation for both glueballs and hybrid mesons. Theoretical expectations are discussed, and a survey of what is known about hybrid mesons and glueballs is undertaken. Good experimental evidence exists for both states with exotic quantum numbers and a glueball...

Summary:In this paper, I review the experimental situation for both glueballs and hybrid mesons. Theoretical expectations are discussed, and a survey of what is known about hybrid mesons and glueballs is undertaken. Good experimental evidence exists for both states with exotic quantum numbers and a glueball which is mixed with the nearby mesons, but a full understanding of these still requires additional information.
