Description
The BESIII experiment in Beijing, China uses e+e- collisions with center-of-mass energies in the 2-5 GeV region to produce and study a wide range of hadron states. The hadron spectroscopy program spans the light quark, open charm, and charmonium sectors. In this talk, I'll discuss recent highlights in both light quark spectroscopy, including studies of mesons with exotic quantum numbers and searches for glueballs, as well as ongoing efforts to make sense of the multitude of heavy charmonium and charmonium-like states discovered above open-charm threshold.
