# Hunting the Scalar Glueball: Prospects for BES III

### Description

The search for the ground state scalar glueball $G_0$ isreviewed. Spin zero glueballs will have unique dynamical properties ifthe $<G_0|\overline qq>$ amplitude is suppressed by chiralsymmetry, as it is to all orders in perturbation theory: for instance,mixing of $G_0$ with $\overline qq$ mesons would be suppressed, radiative$\jp$ decay would be a filter for new physics in the spin zero channel,and the decay $G_0 \rightarrow \overline KK$ could be enhanced relativeto $G_0 \rightarrow \pi \pi$. These properties are consistent with theidentification of $f_0(1710)$ as the largely unmixed ground state scalarglueball, while recent BES data implies that $f_0(1500)$ does not containthe dominant ... continued below

These properties are consistent with theidentification of $f_0(1710)$ as the largely unmixed ground state scalarglueball, while recent BES data implies that $f_0(1500)$ does not containthe dominant glueball admixture. Three hypotheses are discussed: that$G_0$ is 1) predominantly $f_0(1500)$ or 2) predominantly $f_0(1710)$ or3) is strongly mixed between $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$.
