Description

The GlueX experiment in Hall D at Jefferson Lab consists of a well-instrumented photon beamline in conjunction with a solenoidal spectrometer providing near-hermetic coverage for charged particles and photons. Since 2016, the experiment has had several run periods with a 9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam on a liquid hydrogen target. We are steadily improving our understanding of the detector needed for the precision PWAs to search for exotic hybrid mesons. In the meanwhile, we are exploring the reaction mechanisms in our beam energy range for mesons ranging from the eta to the J/Psi, searching for a lepto-phobic dark matter particle, and measuring the beam asymmetry in our large baryon-antibaryon sample, among a long list of topics. The status and latest results will be presented.
