Abstract:
We develop an inverse matrix method to solve for resonance masses from a dispersion relation obeyed by a correlation function. Given the operator product expansion (OPE) of a correlation function in the deep Euclidean region, we obtain the nonperturbative spectral density, which exhibits resonance structures naturally. The spectral densities for the scalar and pseudoscalar glueballs reveal a double-peak structure: the peak located at lower mass implies that the $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ ($\eta$ and $\eta'$) mesons contain small amount of gluonium components, and should be included into scalar (pseudoscalar) mixing frameworks. Another peak determines the scalar (pseudoscalar) glueball mass around 1.50 (1.75) GeV with a broad width about 200 MeV, suggesting that the $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ ($\eta(1760)$) mesons are the glue-rich states. Our analysis gives no resonance solution for the tensor glueball, which may be attributed to the insufficient nonperturbative condensate information in the currently available OPE.
