Hi guys,
I made some changes in the first paragraph. I didn't commit them yet. What
do you think?

Almost half a century after the prediction and discovery of the $\Omega^-$
baryon, many properties of the $S=-2$ and $-3$ hyperon  resonances remain
unknown. In particular, recent theoretical predictions suggest there are
many more Cascade states than have been seen. The CLAS detector, part of
JLAB's 6~GeV program, has provided a unique lens into photo-production of
the lowest mass Cascade states at threshold, however the energy and
luminosity reached was not sufficient to study the heavier $\Xi^*$'s or the
$\Omega^-$. With the increased energy and better charged-kaon
identification promised with CLAS12, we propose to study the production
mechanisms of $S=-2, -3$ baryons with high precision and statistics in
exclusive photo-nuclear reactions.
