In physics, the pomeron is a Regge trajectory, a family of particles with increasing spin, postulated in 1961 to explain the slowly rising cross section of hadronic collisions at high energies.

While other trajectories lead to falling cross sections, the pomeron can lead to logarithmically rising cross sections which experimentally are approximately constant ones. The identification of the pomeron and the prediction of its properties was a major success of the Regge theory of strong interaction phenomenology. In later years, a BFKL pomeron was derived in other kinematic regimes from perturbative calculations in QCD, but its relationship to the pomeron seen in soft high energy scattering is still incompletely understood.
One consequence of the pomeron hypothesis is that the cross sections of proton–proton and proton–antiproton scattering should be equal at high enough energies. This was demonstrated by the Ukrainian Soviet physicist Isaak Pomeranchuk by analytic continuation assuming only that the cross sections do not fall. The pomeron itself was introduced by Vladimir Gribov, and it incorporated this theorem into Regge theory. Geoffrey Chew and Steven Frautschi introduced the pomeron in the west. The modern interpretation of Pomeranchuk's theorem is that the pomeron has no conserved charges—the particles on this trajectory have the quantum numbers of the vacuum.
The pomeron was well accepted in the 1960s despite the fact that the measured cross sections of proton–proton and proton–antiproton scattering at the energies then available were unequal. By the 1990s, the existence of the pomeron as well as some of its properties were experimentally well established, notably at Fermilab and DESY.
The pomeron carries no charges. The absence of electric charge implies that pomeron exchange does not lead to the usual shower of Cherenkov radiation, while the absence of color charge implies that such events do not radiate pions.
This is in accord with experimental observation. In high energy proton–antiproton collisions in which it is believed that pomerons have been exchanged, a rapidity gap is often observed. This is a large angular region in which no outgoing particles are detected.
Odderon [link]
The odderon is the hypothetical counterpart of the pomeron that carries odd charge parity.
String theory [link]
In early particle physics, the 'pomeron sector' was what is now called the 'closed string sector' while what was called the 'reggeon sector' is now the 'open string theory'.

by: Bow Wow & OmarionHey man this what the world've been waiting on dawg
New beginning my nigga
Prince of the rap game you know
Me bow weezie
The ambassador omarion
Dig that homeboy
you niggas ready
I squeeze the life out of the game
So call me python
Nigga I transform when they turn the lights on
Mic on ice on yeah gets my shine on
Mr. money ain't a thing
Junior with Omarion
and I confess that I'm feeling myself
I confess that I'm winning through wealth with money under my belt
So much R&B fever that my show can be shelfed
I'm lost in the flow I can't be helped
I got a swag that can't be cloned
Got a Benz and a Bentley and a lac and a jag all chrome
I'm a boss watch your mouth boy (who you think talking to)
The hood love what I do (fuck you think talking to)
Respect what I does
We live the life of a hoodstar
'cause your boy nice with it
Girls line up at the bar (at the bar)
That's 'cause I'm nice wit it
Forget the price get it
They talk it but we live it
They talk it but we love it
the definition of nice
Look I can't describe how I feel man
It's like everytime I breathe I make a million
Shows we can back them out
Money come in large amounts
Balling till we fall nigga
Yea what I'm talking about
Screaming like guns started poppin in the club
Only thing poppin is bottles filling my cup
When we step on stages like the twin towers are blown
Fire in my eyes ice in my veins its on its on
Aye the pimp game is ruthless phantom roofless
Young bow weezie
Defintion of what the truth is
I'm everywhere the money be
Everywhere the honeys be
you looking at the real shit
Other niggas wannabe
Columbus to la
you lames know just how we get down
Go to any city and we shutting down your whole town
We young with it and cocky
Yea we the problem dynamic dou
But not Batman and Robin
I got a swag that can't be matched
Got a house in the hills and it looks like a carshow in the back
I'm a boss boy (who you talking to)
The hood love what I do (fuck you think you talking to)
I'm saying man this what we do
you know what I'm saying
24/7 365
