Abstract
Earlier investigations showed local minima in the monopole-antimonopole potential in U(1) gauge theory on the lattice. In this paper we localize monopoles of Monte-Carlo configurations. A statistical analysis of localization measurements gives us the probability density which we compare with the potential found in [1]. We find the monopoles mainly located either in the center of three-dimensional cubes or on the interface between two cubes. This agrees with the position of minima and maxima of the monopole-antimonopole potential.
