Description

The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab studies the spectrum of hadrons in photoproduction on a LH2 target. Its almost hermetic detector configuration is optimized to measure both charged and neutral final state particles with good resolutions. This allows GlueX to measure a wide range of different reactions, including those with strangeness. In this talk we are going to present our ongoing studies into the Lambda(1405) lineshape as well as results on Lambda(1520) spin-density matrix elements and differential cross-sections. We will also discuss prospects for the measurements of Xi(*) photoproduction. We will end with an outlook on future opportunities for strangeness photoproduction in GlueX.
