   Pomeron, valence quarks, and super-canonical dark matter as very dark matter and four postings before it and one after might give some idea about the new picture about hadrons.

   In the model hadrons consists of quark space-time sheets glued to hadronic space-time sheets. Hadronic space-time sheets are analogs of hadronic strings and responsible for non-perturbative aspects of hadron physics (jnot reducible to QCD). They carry most of the baryon mass as a matter which has angular momentum and color but no electro-weak charges: ordinary gluons are not in question however. This matter is in a very strong sense dark. Hadron space-time sheet can be visualized as highly tangled string and is rather blackhole like structure and TGD based model of neutron star involves a fusion of the nucleon space-time sheets in the scale of star. Blackhole would be very similar structure but with Scwartschild radius.

   Valence quarks space-time sheets are connected by color flux tubes to form connected structures. Their contribution to baryon mass is small: 170 MeV in the case of nucleon. In high energy collisions the structure formed by valence quark space-time sheets separates from the hadronic space-time sheets (“ionization energy” is 170 MeV) and can be identified as “Pomeron”, the anomalous object of Regge model having no Regge trajectory. The separation of this space-time sheet from proton space-time sheet explains the observations made in Hera for some years ago and implying re-incarnation of Pomeron.

   Color glass condensate observed in RHIC would mean separation of “Pomerons” from hadronic space-time sheets of colliding nucleons which fuse to form a single larger blackhole like structure. The collision energy would materialize to the colored matter at hadronic space-time sheets. The evaporation of this blackhole would produce final state hadrons.

   Coming to the topic of posting: there is no need to assume the separation of quark color above nucleon length scale. Instead of liberation of color valence quarks separation of hadronic blackholes and Pomerons would occur. Similar process would occurs also in strange cosmic ray events like Centauro. The mass of hadronic space-time sheet in the case of nucleon is very nearly equal to that of nucleon and one can wonder how large fraction of dark matter consists of nucleons which have lost their Pomerons!;-)
