Heavy quark potential in the instanton liquid model

Abstract: We study the heavy quark potential in the instanton liquid model by carefully measuring Wilson loops out to a distance of order 3

f m

. A random instanton ensemble with a fixed radius

h o

= 1/3

f m

generates a potential

V (R)

growing very slowly at large

R

. In contrast, a more realistic size distribution growing as

h o^{6}

at small

h o

and decaying as

h o^{- 5}

at large

h o

, leads to a potential which grows linearly with

R

. The string tension, however, is only about 1/10 of the phenomenological value.
