The Glueball Spectrum from a Potential Model

The spectrum of two-gluon glueballs below 3 GeV is investigated in a potential model with dynamical gluon mass using variational method. The short distance potential is approximated by one-gluon exchange, while the long distance part is taken as a breakable string. The mass and size of the radial as well as orbital excitations up to principle quantum number n=3 are evaluated. The predicted mass ratios are compared with experimental and lattice results.
