Propose move edit
This is usually called "S-matrix theory", and it is the field gave birth to string theory. Bootstrap models proper only had a limited shelf-life, they were only really constructed for pion-nucleon scattering and I think they predicted the rho a year or two before it was discovered or something like that. But S-matrix theory includes timeless results like the Froissart bound, meson/baryon Regge trajectories, and strings.
So I propose to rename this to S-matrix theory, and write about it properly.Likebox (talk) 20:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll move it.Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 07:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Since there's already an article called s-matrix, I've proposed a merge insteand.Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 07:10, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, don't merge. S-matrix is something from field theory. S-matrix theory is a theory based on properties of the S-matrix, but without field theory. The reason that they shouldn't be merged is the following:
- The bootstrap models gave equations for the dynamics which are completely unrelated to the stuff on S-matrix.
- The bootstrap models include string theory as understood in the 1970s and 1980s, which is not field theory.

- I did a quick search and [1] might have some nice info.Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 17:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

New Article edit
I'll link to the article on S-matrix theory.Likebox (talk) 00:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
In Need of a Summary edit
Could someone rewrite this so it is decipherable for those without a physics background, or at least have a non-technical introductory section? As it stands I can't make heads or tails of this article. 173.64.90.135 (talk) 20:57, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- A very nice, easy-to-read summary is here: Stackexchange What is a Pomeron? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 01:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
