A semi-classical expansion based on the instanton vacuum model of quantum chromodynamics is taken to obtain the correlation function of the 0 −+ pseudoscalar glueball current. Working on the framework of Gaussian sum rules with a Gaussian-tail instantons size distribution, we find the contributions arising from the interaction between the classical instanton fields and quantum fluctuation ones are comparable to the pure classical and quantum ones, and thus impact the sum rule results; whereas the usual condensate contribution turned out to be negligible and may be understood as a small part of the corresponding instanton contributions. In consideration of axial U(1) anomaly, and inspired by the correlation function's behavior, we assume that the spectral function is saturated by the three zero-width resonances (the mesons η and η , and the pseudoscalar glueball G) plus continuum, and the corresponding Gaussian sum rules are constructed. The optimal mass and the coupling constant of the lowest pseudoscalar glueball are predicted to be consistent in a series Gaussian sum rules and almost the same as that of our previous Laplace sum rules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
