Baryon Resonances in the Double Pion Channel at Jefferson Lab (CEBAF): Experimental and Physical Analysis Status and Perspectives

Abstract

Decay of light quark excited baryons in the double pion channel is discussed, as a particular way of investigating poorly know baryon resonances and searching for "missing states" predicted by quark models. A possible approach to the data analysis is discussed and some preliminary data from the CLAS collaboration at Jefferson Laboratory are presented.
