/From Light Hadrons to Charm: Early Results from the GlueX Experiment/


Abstract:

/The primary goal of the GlueX experiment is to study gluonic degrees of 
freedom in QCD by mapping the light meson spectrum, with a focus on 
searching for and studying hybrid mesons. GlueX uses the new 12 GeV 
electron beam at JLab to generate a photon beam peaking at 9 GeV with a 
high degree of linear polarization, incident on a hydrogen target 
surrounded by a solenoidal spectrometer.  The massive photoproduction 
data set being collected by GlueX also enables the study of a wide 
variety of physics topics.  I will discuss the current status of the 
experiment, present several results from our commissioning run, 
including the first observation of the charmed meson J/psi at Jefferson 
Lab, and discuss the future outlook of the experiment./
