Abstract
The identification of the isovector member of the scalar nonet
plays a fundamental role in fixing the properties of the
other members
and, therefore, in the possible identification of an extra state as
the glueball candidate. After more than 20 years of experiments on this
subject the situation has not yet been clarified. A review
of the experimental results coming both from annihilation and
the
reaction is presented in this paper.
