Abstract

The dual Meissner effect is described and numerically observed in a gauge-invariant way in lattice Monte-Carlo simulations in pure SU(2) QCD. The squeezing of the non-Abelian electric field between a pair of static quark and anti-quark occurs due to the solenoidal current coming from the gauge-invariant monopole-like quantity. Preliminary results are obtained with respect to the vacuum type of the confinement phase. The SU(2) QCD vacuum seems near the border between the type 1 and the type 2 dual superconductors. The theoretical background of this idea is published in another report Suzuki:2005lat051. Here we show numerical results in this note.
