| Title | Meson Spectroscopy: a Perspective from GlueX | ||||
| Abstract | In the last 15 years collaborations world-wide have contributed to the discovery of many exotic candidate states, such as those made from two quarks and two antiquarks. With these discoveries there has been renewed interest in spectroscopy and in particular, searches for other such particles. Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is home to the GlueX experiment which uses a 12 GeV electron beam incident on a diamond radiator to produce a linearly polarized, coherent Bremsstrahlung photon beam. The primary goal of GlueX is to search for so-called exotic hybrid mesons (comprised of a quark, an anti quark, and a gluon) by first mapping out the conventional spectrum of mesons starting with the often poorly understood excited vector mesons. Photoproduction at these energies is relatively unexplored and the use of a polarized beam allows GlueX to discriminate between various production mechanisms which may aid in the identification of exotic hybrid mesons.
