This paper reports on the most comprehensive data set obtained on differential and fully integrated cross sections for the process ep → e'pπ⁺π^-. The data were collected with the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. Measurements were carried out in the as yet unexplored kinematic region of photon virtuality 0.2 < Q² < 0.6 GeV² and invariant mass of the final hadron system W from 1.3 to 1.57 GeV. For the first time, nine independent one-fold differential cross sections were determined in each bin of W and Q² covered by the measurements. A phenomenological analysis of the data allowed …
