Not Easy to Identify Glueball
1) We do not know the mass preciselyprobably ~ 1.5-2.5 GeV/c2
2) The width is probably wide
Buried in many normal quark resonance states in the same mass region !

{Witten, Phys. Rev. D30, 272 (1984)E. Farhi and R.L. Jaffe, Phys. Rev. D30, 2379.
Theoretical Prediction of Stable Particles Often not Reliable -- Particle Mass ~ a few 1000 MeV
-- Binding Energy a few MeV (deuteron)
No QCD or Phenomenological calculation has better than 1% accuracy !

Is There an Obvious Contradiction ?
The signal is not significant in Au+Au systems !d+Au is indeed a favored system:
signal strength and combinatorial background !!RHIC should have another long d+Au run !!

+KsP
dAu data, Ks was identified by topological method The + is probably there, several reasons may be responsible for the less significant signal:
Smaller branching ratios Half of the Ks will become KL
Efficiency for finding Ks at low pt is low This year’s AuAu data may give us an answer?

The Puzzle Continues1) If pK+ peak at 1530 MeV/c2 is a real pentaquark, then
I = 1 likely, there must be a +. But the recent JLab null result on + casts serious doubt on the observation
of +.
2) The STAR observed yield is so small such that many experiments would not have the sensitivity to see it.
3) Within the STAR data we have not seen any significantpeak signal in p+p data and Au+Au at 200 GeV and Cu+Cu 62 GeV.What do these null observations mean?Production dynamics or data set bias unknown to us?What is so special about d+Au 200 GeV (18.6 M events)?
4) Can the formation is such that photo-production is not favored?
