String Breaking in 3-d G (2) Yang-Mills Theory

One or two gluons cannot screen a fundamental quark to a smallercharge, but three can.

B. H. Wellegehausen, A. Wipf, and C. Wozar, arXiv:1006.2305The fundamental string breaks by the simultaneous creation of six gluons,without intermediate string decay.

Conclusions

Conclusions

• In Yang-Mills theory there is a systematic low-energy effective stringtheory (analogous to chiral perturbation theory in QCD), which describesthe dynamics of the Goldstone modes of the spontaneously brokentranslation symmetry of the string world-sheet.

• The effective theory has been tested at the two-loop level with veryhigh precision using the Luscher and Weisz multi-level simulationtechnique, which led to the determination of low-energy parameter r0.

• Strings connecting static charges in higher representations may decaybefore they break completely.

• A constitutent gluon model accounts for the “brown muck”surrounding a screened color charge.

• The exceptional group G (2) is the smallest one with a trivial center.One observes Casimir scaling at the few percent accuracy level.A fundamental 7 quark can bescreened by three adjoint 14 gluons.

The fundamental G (2) string breaks by the simultaneous creation of six

gluons without string decay.
