Abstract :
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.
