Gluonium as Bound State of Massive Gluons Described by the Joos-Weinberg Wave Functions

Abstract

On the basis of the Kadyshevsky equal-time (quasipotential) approach, a set of partial-wave equations is derived for the wave function of a gluonium, a bound state of two gluons. The field operators of constituent gluons are considered as six component quantities according to the Joos-Weinberg $2(2S+1)$- component approach. The quasiclassical quantization condition for relativistic two-particle states and the above set could be used for calculations of gluonium energy levels.
