Glueball Regge Trajectories
Abstract
We investigate the spectrum of glueballs in 3D and 4D SU(N) gauge theories. Our motivation is to determine whether the states lie on straight Regge trajectories. To this end we develop new lattice techniques to reliably determine the states carrying higher spin. It has been conjectured for a long time that glueballs are the physical states lying on the pomeron, the trajectory responsible for the slowly rising hadronic cross-sections at large centre-of-mass energy.
