Abstract

Recent results using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab are discussed. We emphasize strangeness photo- and electro-production in the baryon resonance region between W = 1.6 and 2.3 GeV, where indications of s-channel structure are suggestive of high-mass baryon resonances coupling to kaons and hyperons in the final state. Other CLAS results, for the E _{1 +} /M _{1 +} transition form factor at the first -resonance, two-pion electroproduction, and photoproduction are also briefly mentioned.
