Description
Commissioned in 2017, the CLAS12 spectrometer is the flagship detector system in Hall B at Jefferson Lab, replacing the previous spectrometer, CLAS, which operated from 1997 until 2012. CLAS12 enables large acceptance studies of electron-induced reactions using the now energy-doubled CEBAF electron beam, with access to quasi-real photoprodcution processes via the low-Q2 Forward Tagger. This talk will showcase the current status of strangeness analyses in CLAS12, with a focus on studies of S = -2, -3 baryons in exclusive photonuclear reactions, where CLAS12 data is expected to provide a significant increase in the available statistics for $\Omega^-$ and $\Xi$ baryons.
