CLAS N* Excitation Results from Pion and Kaon Electroproduction
Abstract
The study of the structure of excited nucleon $N^*$ states employing the electroproduction of exclusive reactions is an important avenue for exploring the nature of the non-perturbative strong interaction. The electrocouplings of $N^*$ states in the mass range below $W$=1.8~GeV have been determined from analyses of CLAS $$\pi N$$, $$\eta N$$, and $$\pi \pi N$$ data at four-momentum transfers $Q^2$ up to 5~GeV$^2$. The work has made it clear that consistent results from independent analyses of several exclusive channels with different couplings and non-resonant backgrounds but the same $N^*$ electroexcitation amplitudes, is essential to have confidence in the extracted results. In terms of hadronic couplings, many high-lying $N^*$ states preferentially decay through the $$\pi \pi N$$ channel, while couplings to $$\pi N$$ final states become rather small. The resonance parameters determined from $$\pi N$$ and $$\pi \pi N$$ electroproduction can be checked in independent studies of the $KY$ ($$Y = \Lambda, \Sigma^0$$) channels. Therefore, data from the $KY$ channels already measured with CLAS will play an important role in $N^*$ structure studies. These comparisons await the development of suitable reaction models. Starting in 2018, a program to study the structure of $N^*$ states in various exclusive electroproduction channels using the new CLAS12 spectrometer will get underway. These studies will probe the structure of $N^*$ states in the mass range up to $W$=3~GeV and $Q^2$ up to 12~GeV$^2$, thus providing a means to access $N^*$ structure information spanning a broad regime encompassing both low- and high-energy degrees of freedom.
