Test of the QCD vacuum with the sources in higher representations

Abstract

Recent accurate measurement by G.Bali of static potentials between sources in various SU(3) representations provides a crucial test of the QCD vacuum and of different theoretical approaches to the confinement. In particular, the Casimir scaling of static potentials found for all measured distances implies a strong suppression of higher cumulants and a high accuracy of the Gaussian stochastic vacuum. Most popular models are in conflict with these measurements.
