Pomeron

Imagine you have a toy car and you want to make it go really fast. One way to do this is by pushing it with your hand. When you push the car, it moves forward, right?

Now, inside an atom, there are tiny particles called protons. These protons are also like tiny cars, and they can move really fast too! But instead of being pushed by a hand, they are pushed by something called a pomeron.

So what is a pomeron? Well, a pomeron is like a super strong force that pushes protons. It's kind of like a superhero that makes protons move really, really fast.

But here comes the fun part - scientists cannot see the pomeron directly! It's invisible, just like a superhero's superpower. However, they can study the effects of the pomeron and its interactions with protons.

Scientists have found that the pomeron is really good at making protons stick together. You can think of it as giving the protons a big hug, making them "stick" to each other. This sticking together of protons is really important for understanding how atoms work and how particles inside atoms interact.

Scientists also use this concept of the pomeron to learn more about the structure of protons and how they behave. By studying these interactions, they can learn more about the building blocks of matter and the forces that hold everything together.

So, even though we can't see the pomeron, scientists rely on its "superpower" to understand the fascinating world of tiny particles and atoms!
