Monopole-Antimonopole Correlation Functions in 4D U(1) Gauge Theory
Luca Tagliacozzo
Abstract
I present the study of the two-point correlator of a modified Confined-Coulomb transition order parameter in four dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with Wilson action. Its long distance behavior in the confined phase turns out to be governed by a single particle decay. The mass of this particle is computed and found to be in agreement with previous calculations of the 0^{++} gaugeball mass. Remarkably, the order parameter allows to extract a good signal to noise ratio for masses with low statistics.
