The separation of a heavy quark and antiquark pair leads to the formation of a tube of flux, or string, which should break in the presence of light quark-antiquark pairs. This expected zero temperature phenomenon has proven elusive in simulations of lattice QCD. We present simulation results that show that the string does break in the confining phase at nonzero temperature.

  1. Hints for string breaking in QCD

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Direct measurement of chromo-electric flux-tube profiles in lattice QCD with physical quark masses indicates string breaking occurs at a quark-antiquark separation between 0.963 and 1.156 fm.
