Pomerons exist as virtual particles in high-energy scattering.
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 81/100
Pomerons are well-established theoretical constructs within Regge theory and perturbative QCD used to describe high-energy diffractive scattering, behaving effectively through gluon and quark exchanges.
