Charge screening and confinement in the massive Schwinger model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-07-24 v1

Abstract

Within the framework of Euclidean path integral and mass perturbation theory we compute the Wilson loop of widely separated external charges for the massive Schwinger model. From this result we show for arbitrary order mass perturbation theory that integer external charges are completely screened, whereas for noninteger charges a constant long-range force remains.
