Light Hadron Spectroscopy at BEPC

The $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ experiments at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC) play a unique role in many aspects of light hadron spectroscopy, such as hunting for glueballs and hybrids, extracting $u\bar u+d\bar d$ and $s\bar s$ components of mesons, and studying excited nucleons and hyperons, i.e., $N^*$, $\Lambda^*$, $\Sigma^*$ and $\Xi^*$ resonances. Physics objectives, recent results and future prospects of light hadron spectroscopy at BEPC are presented.
