Abstract
In a potential model for glueballs, with a dynamical gluon mass MeV, the masses of the low-lying three-gluon glueballs (with ) are found to be approximately degenerate GeV. The , decays are used to extract mixing of three-gluon and glueballs with and , respectively. The decays () are suggested for experimentally studying the three-gluon continuum and three-gluon bound states. The three-gluon glueballs production rate via that mechanism as well as in , , and collisions is estimated. The decays dominantly into , but also has reasonable decay widths for channels. The glueball state decays dominantly into (). Its other important decay modes are found to be , , and .
