Pomerons exist as virtual particles in high-energy scattering.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

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.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently treat pomerons as valid effective descriptions and theoretical objects (such as in Regge theory, pomeron exchange in proton-proton scattering, and pomeron fan diagrams in QCD). There are no refutations of pomerons among the provided papers; rather, they explore the finer details of pomeron-mediated interactions, trajectories, and vertices.
