Abstract: (APS)
We present Monte Carlo results for the force between static quarks, calculated on a large (163×32) lattice. A simulation with high statistics allows us to compute expectation values for loop factors of size up to 8×8 at several values of β in the transition region. Values and errors are tabulated; a fitting procedure is then used to evaluate the force between static quarks and, in particular, its asymptotic limit, i.e., the string tension σ. We find good agreement with scaling for β≥6, with a ratio between scale parameter Λ and σ approximately equal to 9.6 × 10−3.- QUARK QUARK: FORCE
