Download or read book Meson Production Experiments at CLAS. written by S. Strauch and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electromagnetic meson production is an important tool in the investigation of the structure of the nucleon. Consequently, a series of meson photo- and electroproduction experiments have been performed with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. In this overview I will report on measurements of cross sections, as well as recent and upcoming measurements of single- and double-polarization observables in meson photoproduction. The data will greatly constrain partial-wave analyses and reduce model-dependent uncertainties in the extraction of nucleon resonance properties.
