✦ Synopsis
The general question of the properties of light neutral-colored spin-zero particles in QCD is examined. Models with spontaneous breaking of QCD at very large distances, such as that of DeRtijula, Giles, and Jaffe and the SO(3) scheme of Slansky, Goldman, and Shaw require such light colored Higgs scalars. These scalars will form color singlet hadronic bound states at short distances and bound state masses, decay widths, and production rates in processes such as I-' y +X within the MIT bag model are estimated.
The resulting states are expected in the mass neighborhood -1.5 GeV and should resemble glueballs.
