CLAS Collaboration (Michael McCracken) publishes two articles. The two articles, published in Physical Review D (http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v80/e072005) and Physical Review C (http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRC/v80/e045213) present new results on photoproduction of pi and eta mesons (respectively) observed with the CLAS detector at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. These mesons were produced by bombarding a proton target (liquid hydrogen) with high-energy gamma rays. These results will serves as input for searches for excited nucleons, the nuclear analog of excited atomic states.
