Abstract:
The ratios of partial widths for the decay of a glueball into two pseudoscalar mesons are calculated under the assumption that the production of light quark pairs (uuˉ,ddˉ,ssˉu\bar u,d\bar d,s\bar s) in soft gluon-\-induced reactions goes on within universal symmetry breaking. Parameter of the violation of flavour symmetry is fixed by the central hadron production data in high energy hadron collisions and/or by the ratios of radiative decay amplitudes J/Ψγη/γηJ/\Psi \to \gamma\eta/\gamma\eta' and J/Ψγϕϕ/γωωJ/\Psi \to \gamma \phi \phi/\gamma \omega \omega. The ratios of coupling constants glueballππ,KKˉ,ηη,ηηglueball\to\pi\pi,K\bar K, \eta\eta,\eta\eta' which are calculated with this parameter coincide reasonably with those of f0(1500)f_0(1500), supporting an idea about glueball nature of f0(1500)f_0(1500).
