Description
Ongoing work on the extraction of beam asymmetries and cross sections for the exclusive ep→e’Nπ+ channel in the resonance region (W < 2 GeV) will be presented in this talk. Previous work has explored regions of Q2 < 4.5 GeV2. However, the CLAS12 upgrade in Hall B of Thomas Jefferson National Lab with beam energy 10.6 GeV allows an extension of the analysis of the single pion channel to a wider kinematic range of Q2 ≈ 8 GeV2. This analysis will provide a basis for theoretical models to extract electromagnetic transition form factors in the region of the transition from strong QCD to perturbative QCD.
