Anatomy of String Breaking in QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We investigate the string breaking mechanism in n_f=2 QCD. We discuss the lattice techniques used and present results on energy levels and mixing angle of the static BBbar|QbarQ two-state system. The string breaking is visualized, by means of an animation of the action density distribution as a function of the static colour source-antisource separation.
