Comment on scalar glueball mass

Abstract

We study the interaction of scalar glueball with quark-antiquark and four-quark spinless meson fields within the framework of a generalized linear sigma model in which the trace anomaly of QCD is exactly realized. To determine the pure scalar glueball mass ($m_h$), we consider the decoupling limit in which the scalar glueball decouples from the meson fields. We find the exact relationship $m_h=2h_0$ where $h_0$ is the vacuum expectation value of the scalar glueball field independent of the properties of the framework used.
