Abstract: (Elsevier)
We analyse the space dependence of the expectation value of the chromo-electric energy density in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair by means of the strong coupling expansion on a lattice and by the relativistic string model. Both methods indicate that the transversal width of the field energy distribution increases without bound, when the quark-antiquark separation goes to infinity.
