We study the possibility of measuring parity-violating pion-nucleon coupling h_{\pi NN}^{(1)} from \pi^+ electroproton production in the threshold region. We calculate the electron-helicity asymmetry in terms of h_{\pi NN}^{(1)} and the…

This letter reports results from the partial wave analysis of the $\pi^{-}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\eta$ final state in $\pi^{-}p$ collisions at 18GeV/c. Strong evidence is observed for production of two mesons with exotic quantum numbers of spin,…
We discuss how electromagnetic properties provide useful tests of the nature of resonances, and we study these properties for the N*(1535) which appears dynamically generated from the strong interaction of mesons and baryons. Within this…
I give a brief overview of the exploration of baryon properties in meson photo- and electroproduction. These processes provide ample information for the study of electromagnetic couplings of baryon resonances and to search for states, yet…
We explain how an analytic continuation we have developed recently is applied to determine the residues of the nucleon resonance poles within a dynamical coupled-channel model of meson-baron reactions. A procedure for evaluating the…
Exclusive $\pi^o$ electroproduction from nucleons is suggested for extracting the tensor charge and other quantities related to transversity from experimental data. This process isolates C-parity odd and chiral odd combinations of t-channel…

The exclusive reaction $\gamma p \to p K^+ K^-$ was studied in the photon energy range $3.0 - 3.8 \mbox{ GeV}$ and momentum transfer range $0.6<-t<1.3 \mbox{ GeV}^2$. Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson…
This work aims at determining the composition of certain $N^*$ and $\Delta$ resonances, i.e. whether they are compact states formed directly by quarks and gluons, or hadronic molecules generated from the meson-baryon interaction. The…
Data on single- and double-charged pion electroproduction off protons are successfully described in the second and third nucleon resonance regions with common N* photocouplings. The analysis was carried out using separate isobar models for…
Within the Excited Baryon Analysis Center we have performed a dynamical coupled-channels analysis of the available $p(e,e' \pi)N$ data in the region of $W \leq $ 1.6 GeV and $Q^2 \leq$ 1.45 (GeV/c)$^2$. The channels included are $\gamma^*…
Recent measurements with CLAS at Jefferson Lab of nucleon resonance transition form factors for several lower mass states are discussed.
All the time since its discovery the N$^*$(1440) baryon state, commonly known as Roper resonance, has been a state with many question marks - despite of its 4-star ranking in the particle data book. One reason is that it does not produce…
We present the first determination of the energy-dependent production amplitudes of N$^{*}$ resonances with masses between 1650 MeV/c$^{2}$ and 1900 MeV/c$^{2}$ for an excess energy between $0$ and $600$ MeV. A combined Partial Wave…
