Description
Studying the structure and properties of hadrons in terms of their elementary
constituents is one of the main axes of research in hadron physics, at the
intersection between nuclear and particle physics. For this goal, European
scientists carry out experiments at Jefferson Lab (JLab, USA) with the Hall-B
large-acceptance spectrometer CLAS12 and a 11-GeV polarized electron
beam. The experiments foreseen for the next 10 years at JLab will probe
kinematics that cannot be accessed elsewhere. This document summarizes
the scientific interests of the European teams involved in the
CLAS-Collaboration research activities, and provides an overview of the
perspectives that are opening at Jefferson Lab.
