The primary goal of the GlueX experiment is to conduct a definitive mapping of states in the light meson sector with an emphasis on searching for exotic hybrid mesons as evidence of gluonic excitations, in an effort to understand the phenomenon of confinement in Quantum Chromo Dynamics. The experiment, housed in the new Hall-D facility at Jefferson Lab following its accelerator upgrade to...

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts many bound states that have not yet been conclusively identified, and as more charmonium-like XYZ states are being discovered, interest is increasing in matching these theoretical bound states with experimental observation. Among these states are hybrid mesons: bound states of a quark, an antiquark, and a gluon. With upcoming experiments such as GlueX,...

Many of the charmonium-like XYZ resonances observed by Belle, Babar, CLEO and BESIII collaborations in the past decade are difficult to interpret as conventional quark-antiquark mesons. After a brief review of the XYZ resonances, theoretical scenarios for these states will be presented with an emphasis on results from QCD sum-rule methods.
