As the title says, what is a pomeron? I thought it was a particle but i can't find anything on the PDG ... If is a particle what are its properties?
DEvens said:Huh. I've never heard of the .m. version of wiki before.
jedishrfu is correct... scroll to the page bottom and click on desktop if you don't like the mobile view.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomeron#External_linksjedishrfu said:The .m version pops up when you use a mobile device to access the website and it thinks you'd prefer the less cluttered mobile version.
A Pomeron is a hypothetical particle that was first proposed in the 1960s to explain the behavior of high-energy hadron collisions. It is thought to be a composite particle made up of gluons, the carriers of the strong nuclear force.
A Pomeron is unique in that it has no intrinsic spin or charge, and its mass is not well-defined. It is also able to interact with itself, unlike other particles which only interact through external forces.
Since a Pomeron is not a fundamental particle, it cannot be directly detected in experiments. Instead, scientists look for evidence of its existence by studying the properties of high-energy hadron collisions and analyzing the data using theoretical models.
The Pomeron is important in understanding the behavior of hadron collisions, which are crucial for studying the strong nuclear force. It also helps to explain the phenomenon of high-energy diffraction, where particles are scattered at large angles during collisions.
Yes, there are several ongoing experiments and research projects dedicated to studying the properties of the Pomeron. These include experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and theoretical studies using quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to better understand the nature of this elusive particle.
