Beam asymmetry for exclusive $\pi $0p, $\pi +$n electroproduction in the resonance region with the CLAS12

ORAL

Abstract

The N* program with the CLAS12 detector offers a unique opportunity to explore the nucleon resonance structure at highest photon virtualities ever achieved, in the range of Q\textasciicircum 2\textgreater 5.0 GeV\textasciicircum 2. Studies of resonance electroexcitation in Npi~ electroproduction represent the important part in these efforts. \newline The~ preliminary CLAS12 results on beam spin asymmetry in pi\textasciicircum 0p and pi\textasciicircum $+$n exclusive channels will be presented~ in the talk. The data were collected with the electron beam energy 10.6 GeV in the resonance region of W\textless 2.0 GeV and in the range of photon virtualities 1.0 \textless Q\textasciicircum 2\textless 10.0 GeV\textasciicircum 2. Combined studies of beam asymmetries and Npi exclusive cross sections are critical in order to obtain the first results on electrocouplings of all prominent in these channels resonances at Q\textasciicircum 2\textgreater 5.0 GeV\textasciicircum 2.
