Abstract. The Y(2175), recently renamed to ϕ(2170), is one of the rare exotic candidates connected to strangeonium as compared to the heavier charmonium-like and bottomonium-like exotic states. Originally observed in initial state radiation events by the BaBar experiment in 2006, it is suggested to be a strange partner state of the charmonium-like exotic vector state Y(4230) that was one of the first of the so-called XYZ states reported in the charmonium mass region. The Y(2175) has been seen in various experiments and decay channels,but it has not yet been searched for in a photo-production experiment. In this talk we report on a measurement of the production cross section of the reaction γ + p → ϕπ+ π− + p based on data recorded by the GlueX experiment in order to search for Y(2175) → ϕπ+π−.>
