Gluelump spectrum in the QCD string model Original Research Article

The spectrum of gluons in the adjoint source field is computed analytically using the QCD string Hamiltonian, containing only one parameter — string tension, fixed by meson and glueball spectrum. Spin splitting is shown to be small. A good agreement is observed with specially generated gluelump states measured on the lattice. The important role of gluelumps defining the behaviour of field-strength correlators is stressed and correspondence with earlier computations of the latter is established.
