Strategy for Exotic Meson Search • Use photons to produce meson final states – tagged photon beam with 8 – 9 Ge. V – linear polarization to constrain production mechanism • Use large acceptance detector – hermetic coverage for charged and neutral particles – typical hadronic final states: f 1 h KK b 1 w r • Perform partial-wave analysis – identify quantum numbers as a function of mass – check consistency of results in different decay modes

Summary CEBAF operation @ 6 Ge. V has provided results with unprecedented precision on structure functions and form factors (including strangeness) Upcoming years will highlight precision hypernuclear studies, standard model tests and. . . The Upgrade to 12 Ge. V is essential to provide access to new kinematic regions and will: • determine with extreme precision the spin and flavour structure of the nucleon in the valence region • provide a totally new and complete view of the nucleon structure access to quark angular momentum • finally (after > 30 years) determine the origin of the EMC effect • test our understanding of quark confinement • and much more. . .
