Abstract
The reaction \({{\pi }^{ - }}{\text{Be}} \to {\text{A}}{\kern 1pt} \omega (782)\phi (1020)\) is studied at the VES setup. In the \(\omega \phi \) mass spectrum, the peak near the threshold with quantum numbers \({{J}^{{PC}}}{{ = 0}^{{ + + }}}\) dominates. It is identified as \({{f}_{0}}(1710)\) . The reaction cross section is measured and the product \({\text{Br}}({{f}_{0}} \to \pi \pi ){\text{Br}}({{f}_{0}} \to \omega \phi )\) is obtained in the one-pion-exchange approximation. The value obtained leads to a large partial width of the radiative decay \(J{\text{/}}\psi \to \gamma {{f}_{0}}\) , which is the evidence of a significant glueball component for this resonance.
