The Production of Neutral N∗(11052) Resonance with Hidden Beauty from π-p Scattering by Chen Cheng, Xiao-Yun Wang

“…It is found that the contributions of the N∗(11052) resonance give clear peak structures in the magnitude of 1 μb near the threshold of N∗(11052) in the total cross sections. The numerical results indicate that the center of mass energy W≃11–11.1 GeV would be the best energy window for searching the N∗(11052) resonance, where the N∗(11052) signal can be easily distinguished from the background. …”

Maya Intimacy with the Mountains: Pilgrimage, Sacrifice and Existential Economy by Jan Kapusta

“…The question I ask is why the sense of sacredness, animation and power of the mountains endures among the traditionalist as well as Pentecostal Maya in spite of the extensive transformations of the world today. In so doing, I examine the native concept of the mountain not merely as a social or cultural representation, but as an expression of everyday lived experiences and existential relationships between people and the physical and spiritual world they inhabit. …”
