Search For The Glueball Candidates F(O)(1500) And F(J)(1710) In Gamma Gamma Collisions With The Aleph Detector

Data taken with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 have been used to search for gamma gamma production of the glueball candidates f(0)(1500) and f(J)(1710) via their decay to pi (+)pi (-). No signal is observed and upper limits to the product of gamma gamma width and pi (+)pi (-) branching ratio of the f(0)(1500) and the f(J)(1710) have been measured to beGamma>(*) over bar *(gamma gamma --> f(0)(1500)) . BR(f(0)(1500) --> pi (+)pi (-)) < 0.31 keV(gamma gamma --> f(J)(1710)) . BR(f(J)(1710) --> pi (+)pi (-)) < 0.55 keV at 95% confidence level.
