Using the newly-upgraded experimental facilities of Jefferson Lab in
Halls B and D, the Arizona State University (ASU) Meson 
Physics Group will conduct experiments to search for and characterize 
(1) excited baryons containing two or more strange quarks and 
(2) hybrid meson states. Both these types of particles have 
been specifically predicted by hadron models based on quantum chromodynamics 
(QCD), exploiting flavor symmetry and gluonic excitations. The detailed knowledge 
of the spectrum of these states that will be obtained 
is essential for meeting the goals of NSAC Long-Range Plan.
