Abstract

I review some of the history of the flux-tube model, concentrating on work done by the Los Alamos-Tel Aviv collaboration on particle creation and back-reaction in uniform fields and in the central rapidity region. I discuss the incorporation of more realistic geometry and structure of the flux tube via application of the dual superconductor model of confinement.
