Description
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab will use a linearly polarized
photon beam to explore the light quark meson spectrum, with emphasis
on mesons with exotic quantum numbers. These exotic mesons cannot be
formed by a simple quark-antiquark pair and could indicate the
excitation of gluonic degrees of freedom. The GlueX detector is nearly
complete and first beam is expected later in the year. Current
detector commissioning efforts will be presented along with an
overview of the GlueX physics program.
