Abstract

We analyze the topological structure of quenched QCD in the presence of static color sources. Distributions of the topological charge density around static quarks and mesons are computed in both phases of QCD. We observe a suppression of topological fluctuations in the vicinity of external sources. In the confinement phase, the suppression occurs in the whole flux tube between the static quark and antiquark.
