Abstract

The tensor glueball is searched for in BESIII data on radiative J/ψ decays into π0π0 and KsKs. The ππ invariant mass distribution exhibits an enhancement that can be described by a pole at (2210±60)−i(180±60)MeV or by three of ϕϕ resonances suggested a long time ago to be the trace of one, two or three glueballs. We speculate that several high-mass tensor mesons might have qq¯ and glueball components.
