Precision“measurement” of the QQ potential in MQCD Original Research Article

We compute the M-theory corrections to the confining linear potential between a quark and an anti-quark in N = 1 Super Yang-Mills theory. We find a constant term, and a term exponentially small with characteristic length of ΛQCD−1. The potential in the MQCD setup that corresponds to softly broken N = 1 SYM is found to have a similar behavior.
