Colour Charges and the Anti-Screening Contribution to the Interquark Potential
Abstract
Asymptotic freedom arises from the dominance of anti-screening over screening in non-abelian gauge theories. In this paper we will present a simple and physically appealing derivation of the anti-screening contribution to the interquark potential. Our method allows us to identify the dominant gluonic distribution around static quarks. Extensions are discussed.
