Why N* studies have key importance. Why the studies of N* have key importance. Why N* studies have key importance. Comprehensive data on the evolution of N* electromagnetic form factors A1/2,3/2, S1/2 with Q2 will allow us to access non-perturbative strong interaction mechanisms, responsible for baryon formation from quarks and gluons. In particular: establish leading symmetry for confinement potential; determine N* wave functions in terms of contributing 3q configurations; eventually fit to the data the shape of confinement potential and confront it to the expectation from Lattice QCD. Matrix elements between ground state nucleon and i-configuration, contributing to the N* state may be expressed, under particular symmetry assumption, through few parameters fitted to the data. Alternatively, they may be calculated for particular shape of binding potential, providing an opportunity to determine its shape from the data. Relative contributions from various configuration ai should be fitted to the data, providing information on N*’s wave functions.

Does resonant part, determined in JM05, depend on the way non-resonant mechanisms are modeled ? N* part was estimated for two different ways of non-resonant process modeling, both comparable to the data: JM05 calculation with phenomenological description for complementary contact terms in pD channels, when peculiar dynamic features were incorporated to the contact term vertex functions, fitted to the data. Implementing particular meson-baryon diagrams for complementary mechanisms in pD channels, using as a guide gauge invariance for entire set of pD Born quasi-two-body amplitudes. Successful data description with the same N* electrocouplings for both ways of non-resonant mechanism modeling represents evidence for reliable evaluation of resonant part in JM05.

Cont’d The data are described reasonably well with the same values of N* electrocouplings for both ways of non-resonant mechanisms modeling. . JM05 allowed us to estimate unambiguously N* part from CLAS data fit.

N* electromagnetic form factors from analysis of the CLAS 2p data within the framework of JM05. Fitted data: p+p-, p+p, p-p mass and CM p- angular distributions at 20 W-bins between 1.41-1.89 GeV and photon virtualities Q2: 0., 0.65, 0.95, 1.30 GeV2. Combined fit of 4 Q2 bins was carried out within a framework of JM05. W-intervals between 1.41-1.51 GeV, 1.54-1.64 GeV, 1.66-1.76 GeV, 1.79-1.89 GeV were fitted independently. Electromagnetic form factors and poorly known masses, pD and rp couplings of N* were varied and fitted to the data together with parameters of non-resonant mechanisms implemented to the JM05. Hadronic couplings were further constrained, exploiting their Q2-independence. The photocouplings at 4 Q2’s were derived for the states: P11(1440), D13(1520), S31(1620), S11(1650), P33(1600)*), F15(1685), D13(1700), D33(1700), P13(1720), candidate 3/2+(1720), F35(1905), P33(1920), F37(1950). *)1.65 GeV mass from our analysis Yes

Conclusions. Phenomenological approach was developed for description of 2p production by real and virtual photons in N* excitation region and for the photon virtualities Q2<1.5 GeV2 with most complete treatment of all significant mechanisms. Successful description of all unpolarized observables combined, without any need for remaining mechanisms of unknown dynamics, allowed us to establish all mechanisms with sizeable contributions from data fit. Currently JM05 is the only available approach worldwide for studies of high lying N* (M>1,6 GeV) in p+p-p exclusive channel. Successful description of all observables measured with CLAS for major exclusive channels in N* excitation region: p+n, p0p, p+p-p, at Q2=0.65 GeV2 with common values of N* electrocouplings strongly supported reliability of non-resonant mechanism description and N*/background separation achieved in JM05. Credibility for resonant part evaluation was also confirmed, applying various approaches for non-resonant mechanism modeling. Therefore, JM05 may be used for evaluation of N* parameters from experimental data fit. N* electromagnetic form factors in Q2-area between 0 and 1.5 GeV2 were extracted from CLAS 2p photo- and electroproduction data for most excited proton states with masses less then 2.0 GeV. Q2-evolution of electromagnetic form factors for S31(1620), D13(1700), D33(1700), P13(1720), F35(1905), P33(1920), F37(1950) states were determined for the first time.

Outlook. Two directions should be pursued: First comprehensive data on Q2-evolution of electromagnetic transition form factors for many N*’s allow us to establish driving symmetry for quark binding potential in baryons; determine N* structure in terms of contributing configurations, and eventually to fit shape of binding potential to the data. Established in this way binding potential may be confronted to the expectations from Lattice QCD. Complexity of 2p production mechanisms, established in CLAS data analysis within the framework of JM05, provides necessary input for development of framework for combined studies of nucleon resonances in variety of exclusive electromagnetic and hadronic reactions, aimed to determine N* electromagnetic form factors and hadronic parameters in explicit coupled channel approaches, proposed by T.-S.
