We discriminate gluonic hadrons from conventional $q\bar q$ states by surveying radial and orbital excitations of all I=0 and I=1 $n\bar n$ systems anticipated up to 2.1 GeV. We give detailed predictions of their quasi-two-body branching fractions and identify characteristic decay modes that can isolate quarkonia. Several of the ``missing mesons'' with L$_{q\bar q}=2$ and L$_{q\bar q}=3$ are predicted to decay dominantly into certain S+P and S+D modes, and should appear in experimental searches for hybrids in the same mass region. We also consider the topical issues of whether some of the recently discovered or controversial meson resonances, including glueball and hybrid candidates, can be accommodated as quarkonia.

  1. Comparing relativistic and non-relativistic quark pair creation models

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Relativistic and non-relativistic QPC models produce strong decay width predictions of similar overall quality for light mesons, with the relativistic version exhibiting stronger suppression at high energies.
