Use 「実証」 to confirm a theory with facts such as experiments or data, as in 「実証実験」 or 「効果を実証する」. For proving in general say 「証明」; in court, 「立証」; for checking whether something is correct, 「検証」; for backing, 「裏付け」. 「確証」 and 「証拠」 name the evidence itself, 「傍証」 indirect corroboration, 「論証」 the reasoning process, and 「証左」「証跡」 are written words for proof. Among verbs, 「示す」 just shows, 「物語る」 lets facts speak, 「裏付ける」 backs a claim with evidence, and 「証す」「証する」「基礎付ける」 are written or academic.
