A study of $\gamma p \to K_SK_Sp$ with the GlueX Experiment
ORAL
Abstract
GlueX is a photoproduction experiment designed to study the meson spectrum with special emphasis on exotic quantum number mesons. Having completed its first phase of data collection, the GlueX Collaboration possesses a unique high statistics dataset that is currently under study. As part of the spectroscopy program we present our analysis of the $\gamma p \to K_SK_Sp$ reaction. Mesons decaying to $K_SK_S$ have $J^{PC}$ = even$^{++}$ and contributions from J = 0 and 2 are expected to dominate. Thus, studying the $K_SK_S$ system will contribute to our understanding of the light scalar and tensor mesons. The current state and future plans of this analysis will be presented.
