On the light glueball spectrum in a holographic description of QCD

Abstract: We investigate the spectra of light scalar and vector glueballs in a holografic description of QCD with a dilaton background bulk field. In particular, we study how the glueball masses depend on the conditions on the dilaton background and on the geometry of the bulk.Comment: LaTex, 13 pages, 2 figure

“…Moreover, the lowest holographic glueball comes from an "exotic" g 44 polarization of the metric fluctuation (while also involving other metric components as well as the dilaton). The next higher scalar glueball, which has the same mass as the lowest tensor glueball, does not involve a g 44 fluctuation, and could thus be viewed as essentially a dilaton fluctuation, which in simpler bottom-up models [50][51][52] is the only way to model a scalar glueball. The mass of the latter is M D = M T ≈ 1.567M KK ≈ 1487 MeV, which matches reasonably well with the lowest scalar glueball on the lattice (albeit not for the tensor glueball which on the lattice is around 2.4-2.6 GeV).…”

“…The crucial aspect of the foregoing analysis is that the f 0 (600) resonance corresponds to the lightest state in the radially-excited spectrum of the Regge-like scalar-isoscalar states. This is an important point, since scalar glueballs [42,43] and scalar-isoscalar mesons [44,45] have been studied within the AdS/CFT framework, however neglecting the possible role of the lightest scalar in any of these approaches. The soft-wall version has been reviewed in Ref.…”

“…So in order to describe a confining theory, the conformal invariance of AdS 5 must be broken somehow. Two strategies AdS/QCD background have been suggested in the literatures hard-wall model [11][12][13][14][15][16] and soft-wall model [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. In hard-wall model to impose confinement and discrete normalizable modes that is to truncate the regime where string modes can propagate by introducing an IR cutoff in the fifth dimension at a finite value z 0 ∼ 1 Λ QCD .…”
