GlueX Project Summaries and Documentation

Introduction to the GlueX Experiment

The following are links to a series of videos on the GlueX experiment. They are meant to provide an introduction to the GlueX experiment for new members of the collaboration. In addition to the videos, the presentations form the video are provides. These are not meant to be complete, but rather a quick way to bring new collaboration members to a basic level of understanding of the experiment.

A Short History of GlueX

This presentation and video present a quick overview of the history of GlueX going from the first meeting in summer 1997 until the present. This is the first of a series of information presentations on the GlueX experiment.

The Photon Facility

This presentation and video present a quick overview of the Hall-D photon facility. It follows the photon beam from production on the diamond radiator through to the photon beam dump, providing a description of each of the detector and beam elements that are part of the process. This is the second of a series of information presentations on the GlueX experiment.

The GlueX Detector

This presentation and video present a quick overview of the GlueX detector in Hall D at Jefferson Lab. It starts with a detector overview, then describes the magnet, liquid hydrogen target and the detector systems in GlueX including the DIRC and the CCAL. It ends with a brief description of the GlueX physics trigger. This is the third of a series of information presentation on the GlueX experiment.

Historical Information on the GlueX Experiment

During 2008, the Gluex Detector underwent a series of detailed reviews as part of the Lehman review process. From those reviews, a description of the detector was written that describes both the physics case and the anticipated detector performance: GlueX Project Description A pdf version of the figure is available.

In late 2008, the beamline and tagger for HallD were reviewed. As part of that process, a detailed description of these elements was prepared. That description can be found here: Beamline Documentation

In July 2006, there was a detailed presentation on GlueX to PAC30. The material that was prepared for the PAC is available here: GlueX PAC 30 Documentation
In July 2010, an update was presented to PAC30, it is available here: GlueX PAC 36 Documentation
In June of 2012, a proposal for additional running in GlueX with a focus on the strangonium states was submitted to PAC 39. GlueX PAC 39 Documentation. This proposal would implement a kaon-identification system as well as a software trigger to enable running at higher intensities. This has been conditionally approved, with full approval waiting on the final design of the kaon-identification system. In 2013, the collaboration has submitted a proposal to PAC40 focusing on the physics that can be done only with the enhanced rate capability made possible by the software trigger.

Gluex thumb.jpg In fall of 2011, the GlueX collaboration working with Jefferson Lab put together a Hall-D poster. A thumbnail of the poster is shown to the write, while the 7MByte jpg file suitable for hi-resolution printing at 18" by 24" can be obtained from the GlueX document archive: Hires Poster.
