Abstract
The affine Toda model coupled to matter (ATM) is shown to describe various features, such as the spectrum and string tension, of the low-energy effective Lagrangian of QCD (one flavor and colors). The corresponding string tension is computed when the dynamical quarks are in the {\sl fundamental} representation of SU(N) and in the {\sl adjoint} representation of SU(2).
