Description
On behalf of the CLAS Collaboration
Studies of nucleon resonance electroexcitation amplitudes are providing insight into many facets of strong QCD dynamics. These amplitudes have become available from the analyses of exclusive electroproduction experiments at Jefferson Lab with CLAS in the range of momentum transfers up to 5 GeV$^2$ and are currently extended to momentum transfers up to 10 GeV$^2$ by measurements with CLAS12. A 22-GeV upgrade of CEBAF at Jefferson Lab will offer unique opportunities to explore momentum transfers up to 30 GeV$^2$ corresponding to the full range of distances where nucleon resonance states are generated in strong QCD. These studies can shed light on the emergence of the dominant part of hadron mass.
