f₁Meson Production with the GlueX Experiment

We present preliminary cross-section measurements for photoproduction of the f₁(1285) meson at GlueX in the reaction yp ->K_sKπp at beam energies between 6.5 and 10.5 GeV. Measurements of the f₁(1285) meson have been performed recently using a 4 GeV electron beam at CLAS. The 12 GeV upgrade of CEBAF has allowed us to extend cross-section measurements of f₁(1285) to higher photon energies. Our measurement seeks to validate theoretical predictions of an interpolated Regge treatment for photoproduction of the f₁ meson to better understand the mechanism of production of this and other 1⁺⁺ resonances
