STUDIES OF N* STRUCTURE FROM THE CLAS MESON ELECTROPRODUCTION DATA

Abstract

The transition γvpN* amplitudes (electrocouplings) for prominent excited nucleon states obtained in a wide area of photon virtualities offer valuable information for the exploration of the N* structure at different distances and allow us to access the complex dynamics of non-perturbative strong interaction. The current status in the studies of γvpN* electrocouplings from the data on exclusive meson electroproduction off protons measured with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab is presented. The impact of these results on exploration of the N* structure is discussed.
