Abstract

We study the non-abelian, gauge invariant, screening potential between two charges in a quark-gluon plasma. Using Braaten and Pisarski resummed perturbation theory in temporal axial gauge, we find a repulsive power screened potential which behaves as 1/r6 at large distance. This questions either the physical meaning of the Debye mass or the known pragmatic treatment of the temporal axial gauge propagator.
