Abstract
We investigate the interaction between a heavy quark-antiquark pair in color octet configuration in gluon plasma. We calculate nonperturbatively an effective thermal potential for such a pair through the study of the correlation function of a hybrid state with octet and an adjoint gluon source in the static limit. We discuss the extraction of an octet potential, and present results for the effective thermal potential between octet pair in gluon plasma for moderately high temperatures . The implications of our result are discussed.
