Click For Summary
A pomeron is not a conventional particle but rather a theoretical construct used in particle physics to describe the exchange of momentum in high-energy collisions. It is associated with the behavior of strong interactions, particularly in the context of scattering processes. The discussion highlights confusion about its classification, as it is not listed in the Particle Data Group (PDG) like typical particles. Additionally, users mention the mobile version of Wikipedia, which can affect how information is accessed. Understanding the pomeron's role is crucial for comprehending certain aspects of quantum chromodynamics and particle interactions.

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?

Huh. I've never heard of the .m. version of wiki before.

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. I often use my iPad to look up stuff of interest.

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_links
