TY - CONF A1 - Szasz, Christian A1 - Wagner, Marc T1 - The adjoint potential in the pseudoparticle approach: string breaking and Casimir scaling T2 - Proceedings of Science N2 - We perform a detailed study of the adjoint static potential in the pseudoparticle approach, which is a model for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. We find agreement with the Casimir scaling hypothesis and there is clear evidence for string breaking. At the same time the potential in the fundamental representation is linear for large separations. Our results are in qualitative agreement with results from lattice computations.
