The newly completed JLab experiment E12-17-003 aimed to search for a possible Λnn resonance using the $^3H(e, e’K^+)$(Λnn) reaction. If such a state does exist, the experiment will measure its binding (or excitation) energy and natural width. These measurements will provide extremely important and experimentally determined information, for the first time, that can be used to investigate the...
A unique feature of QCD is the possibility for gluonic degrees of freedom to participate in the construction of hadrons in an analogous manner to valence quarks. The unambiguous identification of such states has been thus far not possible. Heavy hybrids are particularly promising because in the heavy-quark sector systematic tools can be used that are not available in the light-quark sector. In...
