title = "Elementary derivation of the universal attractive coulomb term in the interquark potential",
abstract = "We provide a simple derivation of the universal 1 R term in the interquark potential at large distances. We discuss a physical analogy which makes the existence of such a universal term easier to understand. We go on to briefly treat the behavior of the Wilson loop in other regimes, to further illustrate this analogy.",

note = "Funding Information: where o is the string tension. The first term in (1) is the familiar linear potential which is undoubtedly a general feature of confinement by electric flux tubes. Important new physics resides in the second, Coulomb-like term. This contribution arises from long wavelength fluctuations of the string, involving distance scales large compared to (O) -1/2 . It is thus not a consequence of perturbation theory and asymptotic freedom, which ~arhis work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. NSF PHY 79-00272.
