Description
The GlueX experiment is located in experimental Hall D at Jefferson Lab (JLab) and provides a unique capability to search for hybrid mesons in high-energy photoproduction, utilizing a ~9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam. Since 2020 a Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC) has been in use at GlueX, utilizing components from the decommissioned BaBar DIRC. In this contribution we will discuss the status and performance of the GlueX DIRC with the data collected to date, including recent developments in the use of machine learning for particle identification.
