Electric/magnetic flux tube on the background of magnetic/electric field
arXiv:hep-th/0302215 · doi:10.1002/andp.200310070
Abstract
It is argued that the phenomenon of a flux tube in quantum chromodynamics is closely connected with a spontaneously symmetry breakdown of gauge theory. It is shown that in the presence of a mass term in the SU(2) gauge theory the Nielsen-Olesen equations describe the flux tube surrounded by an external field.
