We calculated new estimates of the Delta VHBbump
parameter for 15 Galactic Globular Clusters (GGCs) using accurate
ground-based photometric data. We enlarged our sample with literature
data and we obtained a sample of 62 GGCs covering a wide metallicity
range (-2.16le [M/H]le -0.58 dex). To compare the data with the theory
we used theoretical models from citet{pie04} and two different
metallicity scales. We found that the observed values are higher
(˜0.4 mag) than the canonical predictions. Moreover, the
discepancy increases in the citet{ki03} metallicity scale and it
decreases in the citet{cg97} scale. We investigated also the impact of
CNONa extreme mixture and higher He-enhanced abundance (Y=0.30). The use
of these models is not in the direction to explain the observed
discrepancy.
