Two Pion Photo- and Electroproduction with CLAS
Exclusive photo- and electroproduction data from CLAS have considerably extended the information on the spectrum and structure of nucleon resonances. The data from the and channels have provided results on the electrocouplings of most resonances in the mass region up to 1.8 GeV and at photon virtualities up to 5.0 GeV. The recent CLAS data on photoproduction have improved knowledge on the photocouplings of nucleon resonances in the mass range of 1.6 GeV 2.0 GeV and on their decays to the and final hadron states. For the first time, the electrocouplings of the and excited states have become available from data at 2.0 GeV 5.0 GeV. Analyses of the combined photo- and electroproduction data have revealed evidence for the candidate-state . The new results on the nucleon resonance spectrum, electroexcitation amplitudes from analysis of the CLAS photo- and electroproduction data, and their impact on the exploration of strong QCD are presented.
