Photoproduction of $K^0\bar{K}^0$ with the GlueX Experiment

The GlueX Experiment is a fixed target experiment using a linearly polarized photon beam and nearly 4$\pi$-hermetic detector.

Phase 1 of data collection is now complete and has produced a unique high statistics dataset which fuels an expansive meson spectroscopy program.

Mesons with a large strange quark content are likely to couple more strongly with the $K\bar{K}$ channel.

By analyzing the $K_SK_S$ final state we can access the even spin contribution to the $K\bar{K}$ system.

The symmetries of the $K_SK_S$ final state dictate that mesons must have $J^{PC}$ = even$^{++}$ quantum numbers which are dominantly $0^{++}$ (scalar-) and $2^{++}$ (tensor-) mesons.

The light scalar sector is of special interest due to a possible overpopulation which has led to speculation of the presence of a glueball.

We will discuss the current status of our analysis which focuses on a Partial Wave Analysis of the $K_SK_S$ final state and future prospects for the analysis of the $K_SK_L$ final state.
