The (dual) Meissner effect in SU(2) and SU(3) QCD

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.
