  In this work we use a mapping technique to derive in the context of a
constituent gluon model an effective Hamiltonian that involves explicit gluon
degrees of freedom. We study glueballs with two gluons using the Fock-Tani
formalism. In the present work we consider two possibilities for $0^{++}$: (i)
as a pure $s\bar{s}$ and calculate, in the context of a quark interchange
picture, the cross-section; (ii) as a glueball where a new calculation for this
cross-section is made, in the context of the constituent gluon model, with
gluon interchange.
