Inclusive Glueball Production in High-Energy p+p(P) Collisions

Using the factorizable character of amplitudes for the double diffractive process in the Landshoff-Nachtmann model, we have discussed the inclusive glueball production in high-energy pp collision via the fusion process of two non-perturbative gluons, and have compared it with double diffractive alike process. We found that, as the c.m. energy E_cms increases from 20 to 20000 GeV, the cross sections of the latter process are about one to two orders larger than the former. Such an outcome could be explained from the hypothesis of duality between glueballs and Promeron.
