Using the experimental facilities of Jefferson Lab in Halls B %10
and D, the Arizona State University (ASU) Meson Physics Group %10, 20
will conduct experiments to search for and characterize %8, 28
(1) excited baryons containing two or more strange quarks and %10, 38
(2) hybrid meson states %4, 42
that have $K^+ K^- \pi^0$ decay products. Both types of particles have %12, 54
been specifically predicted by hadron models based on quantum chromodynamics %10, 64
(QCD), exploiting flavor symmetry and gluonic excitations. The detailed knowledge %10, 74
of the spectrum of these states that will be obtained %10, 84
is essential for meeting the goals of %7, 91
