Crystal Barrel Results on Two-Body Decays of the Scalar Glueball

The Crystal Barrel Collaboration observes scalar meson resonances in $\bar p p$ annihilation. Based on the measurements and partial wave analyses these are candidates for the $^3$P$_0$ groundstate nonet. The supernummerary $f_0(1500)$ resonance is identified as a scalar groundstate glueball. Important information for its characterization comes from the decay pattern into pseudoscalar and scalar mesons. Data on kaonic decays in the mass region up to 1700 MeV are now avaible at Crystal Barrel. New analysis results are presented.Comment: 5 pages, Latex, 3 eps figures, talk presented at EPS-HEP'97 conference in Jerusalem, Israel, 19-26 Aug. 199

Note on Scalar Mesons

Review article about the light scalar mesons, experimental and theoretical advances during the previous two years. The nature of several scalar mesons is controversial and they include exotic objects like glue-balls. The note is published in the Review of Particle Properties
