The goal of the GlueX experiment is to map the spectrum of gluonic excitations of light mesons using linearly polarized photons. The ultimate goal is to better understand the confinement of quarks and gluons - the novel feature of QCD. A collaboration of nearly 100 scientists from 24 institutions is refining the physics goals and planning the construction of a new beam line, detector, and experimental hall (Hall D). The GlueX experiment is coupled to the Jefferson Laboratory energy upgrade. This project received CD-0 approval from the U.S. Department of Energy in April 2004, CD-1 approval in March 2006, and CD-2 approval in July 2007. The next level of approval, called CD-3, will be defended in the summer of 2008. More information on the experiment and the collaboration can be found on the following web sites: Main Hall D web site CMU Hall D web site This site represents the main source of information regarding the forward tracking detectors within the GlueX superconducting solenoid. These detectors are known as the Forward Drift Chambers (FDCs). The design of the FDC system is the primary responsibility of the Jefferson Laboratory group headed by D.S. Carman and S. Taylor. This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.
