Abstract: (WSP)
At sufficiently large separation between a quark and an antiquark the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) string breaks into parts due to creation of light quark-antiquark pairs. We show that a background magnetic field affects the breaking of the QCD string oriented in the transverse directions with respect to the axis of the magnetic field. Using semiclassical approach we argue that above certain, the background magnetic field eB approx 0.3 GeV2 breaking of the transverse string should become energetically unfavorable.Note:
