  1. The GlueX Detector in Hall-Dat Jefferson Lab February 16, 2010 David Lawrence, Jefferson Lab (for CurtisA. Meyer, Carnegie Mellon University) Newport News, Virginia GlueX - ACTS 2009 - David Lawrence

  2. Exotic Hybrid Mesonsand the choice of photoproduction spins not aligned (S=0) Conventional meson has quantum numbers determined only by constituent quarks Hybrid meson has angular momentum contribution from “the glue” J. Dudek et al., PRD 79 (2009) Compute radiative decays in charmonium to normal and hybrid mesons. Rates are comparable. Work currently underway to compute the same for light quarks spins aligned (S=1) JPC = 0-+, 0++, 1++ 1+-, 2-+, 2++ JPC = 0-+, 0++, 0+- 1++, 1-+, 1+- 2-+, 2++, 2+- JPC = 0-+, 0++, 0+- 1++, 1-+, 1+- 2-+, 2++, 2+- JPC P = (-1)L+1 C = (-1)L+S Expect higher exotic hybrid production rate using photon beam “exotic” states GlueX - ACTS 2009 - David Lawrence

  3. QCD Potential The normal mesons are built up from a “quark-antiquark pair” with a “ground-state” flux tube. < S=0, L=0 > < S=1, L=0 > < S=0, L=1 > < S≠0, L≠1 > Gluonic Excitations provide an experimental measurement of the excited QCD potential GlueX - ACTS 2009 - David Lawrence July 7, 2009

  4. QCD Potential • Excited glue yields hybrid nonets • Many of the hybrid nonets have exotic quantum numbers • Lattice QCD predicts exotics ~2GeV/c2. • 3 nonets of exotic-quantum number states. • Decays expected to 4-5 pions with photons. • GlueX has been designed to detect these. • Large acceptance for these final states. • Good resolutions. • Partial Wave Analysis tools to carry out analysis.

  8. Detector Construction (2009/2010) • 48-module BCAL at University of Regina • Completing modules 3 and 4. • First shipments to JLab in April

  9. Detector Construction (2009/2010) • Lead-glass Forward Calorimeter at Indiana University • Contract for construction in place soon. • Work starting spring 2010 • Central Drift Chamber at Carnegie Mellon • Contract for construction in place soon. • Work starting spring 2010 More contracts starting in 2011 and 2010

  10. The GlueX Detector in Hall-D • The 12 GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab is currently under construction • Construction of Hall-D broke ground in April 2009 • Construction of the GlueX detector has started Hall-D Groundbreaking Current plans call for the first beam in Hall-D/GlueX in late 2014

  11. Summary • The GlueX Detector and Hall-D at JLab are under construction. • We expect to start the search for exotic mesons in 2014. • There are other physics programs that are starting to materialize for GlueX • PrimEx (Primakoff Effect) on the eta approved in 2010. • A workshop on these activities in 2010.

  16. Most electrons don’t interact with the diamond and get bent right into the beam dump The Photon Tagger e- photon Some electrons undergo bremstrahlung(“breaking radiation”) and create a photon while passing through the diamond 12m long vacuum chamber e- The photon carries some energy away leaving the electron with less so that it gets bent more by the magnetic field 1.5T dipole magnet These electrons pass through detectors lining the side of the vacuum chamber. Which detector gets hit tells us how much energy the electron was left with (and therefore how much was given up to the photon!) The experiment will ultimately see 100 million tagged photons every second impinging on our liquid Hydrogen target (only a tiny fraction will interact). e- 20mm diamond radiator GlueX - ACTS 2009 - David Lawrence
