Production of $0^{++}$glueball from double diffractive process in high energy $p+p(\bar{p})$ collision

Abstract

Motivated by the recent experimental data about candidates for glueball from different processes, we discuss in this paper the production of 0^{++} glueball from double diffractive scattering at momentum transfer |t|< 1GeV^2 in high energy p+p(\bar p) collision. We apply the phenomenology of Pomeron (IP) of Donnachie-Landshoff, the field theory model of IP of Landshoff-Nachtmann and the relevant calculating approachs. We assume while IP coupling with glueball, the 0^{++} glueball can be considered as a bound state of two non-perturbative massive gluons. We evaluate the dependence of cross section for 0^{++} glueball production on system energy $\sqrt{s}$ and show that it could be tested experimentally.
