25 Outlook – Deuterium Target Data taking completed Currently being analysed Data on quasifree neutron and proton Circular and Linear Polarisation

26 Outlook – FROzen Spin Target (FROST) Target can be longitudinally or transversely polarised “Complete” measurement possible First part of run complete Undergoing calibration Second period to run soon…

27 Conclusions Kaon Photoproduction results from CLAS: Published results: , P, C x, C z Preliminary results: , T, O x, O z In the near future: Same set of results for 2 H target (quasifree neutron and proton) “Complete” results (FROST) Next few years: Complete set on 2 H and p (HDIce)
