Unusual Properties of the Central Production of Glueballs and Instantons

Abstract

It is shown that instantons provide a natural mechanism to explain an unusual azimuthal dependence of the production of the even-parity glueball candidates in central pp collision. A different azimuthal dependence for instanton-induced production of the odd-parity glueballs is predicted.
