Abstract

Impressive progress achieved in the past decade in experimental studies of exclusive meson photoproduction off protons and global multichannel amplitude analyses has resulted in the discovery of several long-awaited new nucleon resonances, with a decisive impact from the results of KΛ and KΣ photoproduction measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. Further extension of these efforts towards combined studies of exclusive meson photo- and electroproduction data off protons will be presented. A new excited state of the nucleon, the N 0 (1720)3/2 +, discovered from combined analyses of π +π −p photo- and electroproduction data, in addition to new resonances discovered in photo- and hadroproduction data, demonstrate the promising prospects of this new research avenue for the discovery of additional new resonances.
