The exclusive electroproduction process e ⃗ p → e'nπ⁺ was measured in the range of the photon virtuality Q² =1.7-4.5 GeV², and the invariant mass range for the n π⁺ system of W=1.15-1.7 GeV using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer. For the first time, these kinematics are probed in exclusive π⁺ production from protons with nearly full coverage in the azimuthal and polar angles of the nπ⁺ center-of-mass system. The nπ⁺ channel has particular sensitivity to the isospin 1/2 excited nucleon states, and together with the pπ⁰ final state will serve …
