  • Abstract
    An extensive spectrum of light non-strange qq̄ states up to a mass of 2400 MeV has emerged from Crystal Barrel and PS172 data on p̄p→Resonance→A+B in 17 final states. These data are reviewed with detailed comments on the status of each resonance. For I=0, C=+1, the spectrum is complete and very secure. xtra’ states are identified. Four of them have I=0, C=+1 and spin-parities predicted for glueballs. Their mass ratios agree closely with predictions from lattice QCD calculations. However, branching ratios for decays are not flavour blind and require mixing with neighbouring qq̄ states. This mixing remains controversial. rther states, η2(1870) and π2(1880), are candidates for a pair of hybrids. Their decay branching ratios BR[η2(1870)→f2(1270)η]/BR[η2(1870)→a2(1320)π] and BR[π2(1880)→a2(1320)η]/BR[π2(1880)→f2(1270)π] are much larger than predicted by SU(3) for qq̄ states. th category of anomalously light 0+ mesons is made of σ(540), κ(750), a0(980) and f0(980), forming a non-qq̄ nonet. Their properties are reviewed using data from both Crystal Barrel and elsewhere.
