Abstract
The spectrum of the glueball with J P C = 0−− is computed using different bottom-up holographic models of QCD. The results indicate a lowest-lying state lighter than in the determination by other methods, with mass m ≃ 2.8 GeV. The in-medium properties of this gluonium are investigated, and stability against thermal and density effects is compared to other hadronic systems. Production and decay modes are identified, useful for searching the J P C = 0−− glueball.
