We compute the masses and decay widths of the gluonia using QCD spectral sum rules and low-energy theorems. In the scalar sector, one finds a gluonium having a mass M G = (1.5 ± 0.2) GeV, which decays mainly into the U (1) A channels ηη ′ and 4π 0 . However, for a consistency of the whole approach, one needs broad-low mass gluonia (the σ B and its radial excitation), which couple strongly to the quark degrees of freedom similarly to the η ′ of the U (1) A sector. Combining these results with the ones for theqq quarkonia, we present maximal gluonium-quarkonium mixing schemes, which can provide quite a good description of the complex spectra and various decay widths of the observed scalar mesons σ(1.), f 0 (0.98), f 0 (1.37), f 0 (1.5) and f J (1.71). In the tensor sector, the gluonium mass is found to be M T ≃ (2.0 ± 0.1) GeV, which makes the ζ(2.2) a good 2 ++ gluonium candidate, even though we expect a rich population of 2 ++ gluonia in this region. In the pseudoscalar channel, the gluonium mass is found to be M P ≃ (2.05 ± 0.19) GeV, while we also show that the E/ι(1.44) couples more weakly to the gluonic current than the η ′ (0.96), which can favour its interpretation as the first radial excitation of the η ′ (0.96).
