Abstract
It has been argued that the perturbative QCD vacuum is unstable against a condensation of color singlet gluon pairs [1, 2]. We shall suggest that this is a color-magnetic instability and we shall give a simple discussion of the form of the vacuum wave function which will enable us to make predictions about the spectrum of hadrons composed of "valence" particles which are gluons, that is, "glueballs". We shall first discuss the condensate, then the spectrum, and finally the phenomenological consequence.Keywords
