Abstract

We present preliminary results for the static quark potential computed on some of the DWF lattice configurations generated by the RBC-UKQCD collaborations. Most of these results were obtained using Wilson lines joining spatial planes fixed into the Coulomb gauge. We compare the results from this method with the earlier ones on $16^3 \times 32$ lattices using Bresenham spatial paths with APE smeared link variables. Some preliminary results on $24^3 \times 64$ lattices are also presented.
