Abstract:  
A fundamental challenge of modern nuclear physics is to understand the 
structure of the constituents of nuclear matter, protons and neutrons. 
The 12 GeV Upgrade of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility 
(CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab and the construction of state-of –the-art 
detector systems make it a unique facility in the world to address this 
challenge. Electron scattering is a superb experimental tool to study the 
internal structure of nucleons at differing distance scales, as the 
resolving power of the probe can be varied. The Generalized Parton 
Distributions (GPDs) provide the theoretical framework to interpret the 
experimental data.  The CLAS12 detector being installed at Jefferson Lab 
is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2017. Employing continuous 
wave electron beams of up to 12 GeV energy will enable a collaboration of 
users’ community from all around the world to perform precise exclusive 
experiments in a large kinematical regime to effectively engage in nuclear 
imaging, revealing hidden aspects of its internal structure, and providing 
insight into quark confinement forces in the nucleon. I will review the 
landscape of both theory and experiments, and describe the new equipment 
with a focus on the approved science program for the CLAS12 detector, which 
will provide a unique capability to study 3D nucleon imaging.
