Abstract :
The CLAS detector is located in Hall B at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Virginia, USA. It is a multipurpose, large acceptance magnetic spectrometer instrumented with detector systems sensitive to charged and neutral particles. In addition to hosting electron scattering experiments, Hall B contains an electron tagging system that provides a bremsstrahlung photon beam for real photon experiments. The study of electromagnetic interactions with this multipurpose facility impacts a broad range of topics such as the baryon resonance spectrum, meson production mechanisms and hadron structure.
