Abstract

The GlueX experiment has produced the world’s largest statistics for peripheral photoproduction of mesons with a goal to unambiguously identify new and exotic mesons. Here we will present preliminary results on the search for possible intermediate resonances which decay to ωη; such as the known ω(1650), the exotics JPC= 0--,2+-, and the elusive JPC= 2+-. The ω, in this reaction, is identified via the π+ π- π0 decay mode and the η and π0 are identified via the decay to 2γ. The data set was obtained at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility utilizing the GlueX detector and a tagged linearly polarized photon beam that peaks around 9.0 GeV incident on a liquid hydrogen target. General features of the data will be presented along with plans for future studies.
