Abstract

After making an abelian projection in the maximally abelian gauge, we measure the distribution of abelian electric flux and monopole currents around an abelian Wilson loop in SU(2) and SU(3) QCD. The (dual) Meissner effect is observed clearly. The vacua in the confinement phases of SU(2) and SU(3) are both at around the border between type-1 and type-2 (dual) superconductor.
