Description
A proposal for a secondary beam of neutral kaons in Hall D at Jefferson Lab was recently approved by the JLab PAC. The experiment will use the GlueX experimental setup to study hyperon spectroscopy by measuring both the differential cross sections and self-analyzed polarizations of the produced $\Lambda$, $\Sigma$, $\Xi$, and $\Omega$ hyperons using the GlueX detector at the Jefferson Lab Hall D covering $W$ up to 2500 MeV. The proposed facility will also study the strange meson sector through measurements of the $K\pi$ system up to invariant masses of 2 GeV. In this talk, the proposed experimental program will be discussed along with the status of the facility.
