Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept of a pomeron, with participants questioning its classification as a particle and seeking information about its properties. The scope includes theoretical aspects and references to external sources for clarification.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the nature of a pomeron, suggesting it may be a particle and expressing difficulty in finding information on the Particle Data Group (PDG).
  • Another participant provides a link to a Wikipedia article as a resource for understanding the pomeron.
  • Several participants discuss the mobile version of the Wikipedia site, noting its appearance and usability on mobile devices.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the definition or properties of a pomeron, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding its classification as a particle.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of detailed properties or definitions of a pomeron and reliance on external sources for information.

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?

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
