Resonances in the ωη System at GlueX

ORAL

Abstract

The GlueX experiment has produced the world's largest data sample for peripheral photoproduction of mesons with a goal to expand our understanding of the strong interaction and search for hybrid mesons. 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 between 8 - 9 GeV incident on a liquid hydrogen target. We will present the current status of the search for possible intermediate resonances which decay to ωη, such as the known ω(1650) or states with exotic quantum numbers JPC= 0--, 2+-. The ω, in this reaction, is identified via the π+ π- πo decay mode and the η and πo are identified via the decay to 2γ. We demonstrate the amplitude analysis on generated Monte Carlo data and outline our strategy for future studies.
