Glueball gravity

Add data on the main article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:410A:DC00:6806:7598:BC5C:AA56 (talk) 04:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

"that has not been confirmed experimentally"

Isn't the claim that the existence of glueballs has not yet been confirmed experimentally contradicted in the next paragraph, which links to a paper that says the odderon was observed experimentally with a high degree of certainty (5.3 sigma)? 2601:801:480:3F90:556:D9C0:71DC:684A (talk) 07:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Ablikim et al detection over 11 sigma

See “Determination of Spin-Parity Quantum Numbers of X(2370)as 0−+ from J/ψ→γK0SK0Sη′” by Ablikim et al of the BESIII consortium. Looks solid but I’m far from a cutting edge particle physicist…

Confirmation of glueball particles

Chinese media reported today/yesterday that Chinese researchers confirmed the existence of the glueball in a Beijing particle collider. This isn’t my field or remote expertise and I also couldn’t find many physics-oriented journals talking about it yet, mostly Chinese state media, but I think necessary large revisions to this page are imminent.

More importantly, the paper itself:

The above news reports from China contain numerous major factual errors. We need more papers or professionals who could carefully analyze the facts. Gedu11539381 (talk) 22:58, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

@Gedu11539381 That’s what I figured. Didn’t do a very deep search just wanted to have the fact that it needs to be updated available. Thanks! FMRadio_{(talk | edits | she/her)} 18:40, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

I also agree. In my opinion we should wait until some more papers get published, like you said, but an update is definitely required at some point.

I would be happy to add info to the page once somebody finds a credible source. KimAtSTEM (talk) 08:18, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
