Abstract:

The GlueX experiment will employ a linearly polarized 9GeV tagged photon beam incident on a liquid hydrogen target to search for exotic states in the light meson spectrum. Optimized for this purpose, the detector has a highly uniform acceptance over nearly 4\pi solid angle, with high efficiency for both neutral and charged final state particles. An overview of the physics motivation and detector design will be presented.
