In good agreement with X(1835)
Candidate of 0-+ ppbar Bound State
X(1835) could be the same structure as ppbar mass threshold enhancement X(1860)/X(1830).
It could be a ppbar bound state since it dominantly decays to ppbar when its mass is above ppbar mass threshold.
Its spin-parity should be 0-+: this would be an important test.
There is already an (1760) nearby , so that X(1835) is very likely to be an unconventional 0-+ meson.
This result cannot be explained by pure FSI effect, since FSI is a universal effect.
FSI interpretation of the narrow and strong ppbar threshold enhancement is disfavored.
This indicates that X(1860) has a production property similar to ’ meson.

Summary of new studies on ppbar mass threshold structure X(1860)
Pure FSI effect cannot explain X(1860) structure.
X(1860) has production properties similar to ’ meson • Why a baryonium (candidate) has a production prop
erties similar to ’ meson? ’ excitation? Why an ’ excitation dominantly deca
ys into ppbar above ppbar mass threshold?
The radiative decay of J/ has been observed in the 58M J/ data.
A significant structure of has been found near the mass threshold.
PWA shows the structure favors 0++, with a mass , width 1052028 MeV, and the corresponding branch ration is (2.610.270.65)x10-4.
It could be a multiquark/hybrid/glueball state.

Broad X cannot be fit with known mesons or their interference
It is unlikely to be (1450), because:
• The parameters of the X is incompatible with (1450).
(1450) has very small fraction to KK. From PDG:
It cannot be fit with the interference of (770) , (1900) and (2150):
• The log-likelihood value worsens by 85 (2=170).

How to understand broad X(1580)?
Search of a similar structure in J/ KSK will help to determine its isospin.
X(1580) could have different nature from conventional mesons:
• There are already many 1- - mesons nearby.
• Width is much broader than other mesons.
• Broad width is expected for a multiquark state.
A structure at 2175MeV was observed in e+e-
f0(980), via initial-state radiation at BABAR.

A ΛK resonance predicted by chiral SU(3) quark model
Based on a coupled-channel study of ΛK and ΣK states in the chiral SU(3) quark model, the phase shift shows the existence of a ΛK resonance between ΛK and ΣK mass threshold.

Ecm – ( MΛ+MK ) (MeV)
The KΛ mass threshold enhancement NX(1610) could be a KΛ bound/resonant state.
Whether NX(1610) is N(1535) needs further study.
J/ decays are an ideal factory to search for and study light exotic hadrons:
The production cross section of J/ is high.
The production BR of hadrons in J/ decays are one order higher than ’ decays (“12% rule”).
The phase space to 1-3 GeV hadrons in J/ decays are larger than decays.
Exotic hadrons are naively expected to have larger or similar production BR to conventional hadrons in J/ decays.
Clean background environment compared with hadron collision experiments, e.g., “JP, I” filter.
One Important Physics Goal of BESIII
With 1010 J/psi events, we hope to answer: Whether glueballs exist or not?
• Naively, we estimate in each exclusive decay mode:
• If the eff. is about 20%, we would have 20000 events for each decay mode
we should observe a relative narrow (width: 50~200MeV) glueball if it exists.

About scalar glueball Many scalar mesons in the mass range 1.4~1.8
GeV, where a scalar glueball is predicted to be. More studies will be performed at BESIII.
More theoretical studies are also needed:• Not only glueball mass, but also width• Decay patterns• Production rate in J/psi radiative decays• Mixing mechanism
2++ glueball candidates
Lattice QCD predicts the 2++ glueball mass in the range of 2.2~2.4 GeV
(2230) was a candidate of 2++ glueball:• It was first observed at MARKIII in J/KK• It was observed at BES I in J/KK, , ppbar• It was not observed at DM2.
The situation at BESII
The mass plots shows no evident (2230) peaks in J/KK, , ppbar, which is different from BESI.
However, it is difficult to exclude its existence since we may still need a small signal at the 4.5 level in the PWA based on our preliminary study. Its mass, width and BR are consistent with BESI and MARKIII results
Difficult to draw firm conclusion at present. We hope to give a final answer at BESIII on (2230)

Other 2++ glueball candidates
No other obvious good candidates have been observed in J/psi radiative decays in the mass range predicted by LQCD.
What does it mean:• LQCD prediction might not be very reliable, or• BR(J/ G)xBR(Ghh) is small ( <10-4 ) so that we
don’t have the sensitivity to observe it ( quite possible ), or,
• The width of a glueball is very large ( ~1GeV, E.Klepmt ).
Where to search for the 0-+ glueball?
Lattice QCD predicts the 0-+ glueball mass in the range of 2.3~2.6 GeV.
(1440) and X(1835) were suggested being possible candidates, but their masses are much lower than LQCD predictions.
No 0-+ glueball candidate observed in the mass range 2.3~2.6 GeV
No evidence for a relatively narrow state ( 100 ~ 200 MeV width ) above 2GeV in
Again:• LQCD reliable?• Production rate could be v
ery low.• Glueball width could be ve
ry large.

Summary
New results on light 0-+,0++ and 1-- mesons as well as excited baryons were briefly reviewed.
We would expect more new observations on light hadron spectroscopy at BESIII and we hope to answer whether glueballs exist or not at that time.
Discussion on KΛ mass threshold enhancement NX(1610)
NX(1610) has strong coupling to KΛ:• From (S&D-wave d
ecay) and is a P-wave decay, we can estimate
• From BESII,
• The phase space of NX to KΛ is very small, so such a big BR shows NX has very strong coupling to KΛ, indicating it has a big hidden ssbar component. (5-quark system)

Non-observation of NX in suggests an evidence of new baryon :
It is unlikely to be N*(1535). If NX were N*(1535), it should be observed
in process, since:
•
• From PDG, for the N* in the mass range 1535~1750 MeV, N*(1535) has the largest , and from previous estimation, NX would also have almost the largest BR to KΛ.
Also, the EM transition rate of NXto proton is very low.
