Resonance $f_0(1500)$: Is it a scalar glueball ?

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 ( u ¯ u, d ¯ d, s ¯ 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/ Ψ → γη/γη ′ and J/ Ψ → γφφ/γωω . The ratios of coupling constants glueball → ππ, K ¯ K, ηη, ηη ′ which are calculated with this parameter coincide reasonably with those of f 0 (1500), supporting an idea about glueball nature of f 0 (1500).
