Abstract

Recent lattice QCD calculations predict a multiplet of hybrid mesons, which are mesons with gluonic degrees of freedom. By mapping out the hybrid meson spectrum, we can gain insight into how the gluon contributes to the properties of bound states in QCD. The π1(1600) is a candidate for the lightest hybrid meson. This state has exotic quantum numbers of JPC = 1−+, which are forbidden for conventional mesons. The GlueX experiment has collected high statistics photoproduction data, which we are using to search for the π1(1600). These proceedings will summarize the search strategy for the π1(1600) at GlueX, including the most recent results in the ωππ, ηπ, and η′π final states.
