Objective The proposed project is aimed at the search for the exotic Quantum Chromodinamics states - hybrids, glueballs, and multiquark states, and the better understanding of the normal (quark - antiquark) light mesons properties. It combines experimental research and theoretical and phenomenological studies.Among the research activities are:-data taking with modernized VES setup;-the development and the use of partial wave analysis for various final state systems;-the application of a new multichannel unitarized analysis, accounting for threshold and rescattering effects, to the observed objects;-calculations of the vector radial and orbital quark-antiquark excitations and hybrid decays and their mixing, and the confrontation of theoretical predictions with the experimental data;-theoretical and experimental study of chiral models via Primakoff reactions and some specific decays of mesons.The obtained results will be reported on international conferencies and published in major physical journals.
