Glueball Interpretation of $ξ$(2230)

On the basis of the results of $\xi(2230)\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}, p\bar{p}$ and $K\bar{K}$, measured by the BES Collaboration in radiative J/$\psi$ decays, combined with the upper limit of Br($\xi\rightarrow p\bar{p}$)Br($\xi\rightarrow K\bar{K}$), measured by PS185 experiment, we argue that the distinctive properties of $\xi$(2230), the flavor-symmetric decays and the narrow partial decay widths to $\pi\pi$ and $K\bar{K}$ as well as its copious production in radiative J/$\psi$ decay, would strongly favor the glueball interpretation of $\xi$(2230).
