Abstract: (APS)
From Monte Carlo calculations of plaquette-Wilson-loop correlations for three-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory, we give unambiguous graphic demonstrations of the formation of non-Abelian chromoelectric flux tubes with constant energy density in the region between a pair of static qq¯ sources.
