Description
The GlueX Collaboration, based at Jefferson Lab, has collected a unique set of photon-proton collision data using linearly polarized photons in the 8-12 GeV energy range. This data set permits a study of the production dynamics of resonances and searches for new states, including hybrid mesons. I will present recent results on the production of established light mesons and the $J / \psi$ as well as the prospects for searching for hybrid mesons in photoproduction. The plans and longterm prospects for future running of the GlueX experiment will also be discussed.
