Monopoles and string tension in SU(2) QCD
Hiroshi Shiba, Tsuneo Suzuki
TL;DR
This paper investigates the roles of monopoles and photons in SU(2) QCD, demonstrating that monopoles are essential for reproducing the string tension, while photons account for the Coulomb potential, through Monte Carlo simulations.
Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of monopole and photon contributions to the abelian Wilson loops in SU(2) QCD, highlighting the monopoles' crucial role in string tension.
Findings
Monopoles reproduce the string tension accurately.
Photons determine the Coulomb coefficient.
Monte Carlo simulations validate the monopole dominance.
Abstract
Monopole and photon contributions to abelian Wilson loops are calculated using Monte-Carlo simulations of SU(2) QCD in the maximally abelian gauge. The string tension is well reproduced only by monopole contributions, whereas photons alone are responsible for the Coulomb coefficient of the abelian static potential.
