The SU(2) Confining Vacuum as a Dual Superconductor

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We investigate the dual superconductivity hypothesis in pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find evidence of the dual Meissner effect both in the maximally Abelian gauge and without gauge fixing. We also obtain a rather good extimation of the string tension using the value of the London penetration length.
