Abstract: There are hundreds of known sub-atomic particles, most of them short lived hadrons made of two or three quarks, bound together by gluons. In many of these the quarks are excited to high energies, but so far none have been discovered in which the gluon binding is itself excited. Now a team at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York is claiming a detection of one such `exotic' meson; but it is not certain exactly what they are detecting.
