The quark-mass dependence of the potential energy between static colour sources in the QCD vacuum with light and strange quarks

The low-lying energy spectrum of the static-colour-source-anti-source system in a vacuum containing light and strange quarks is computed using lattice QCD for a range of different light quark masses. The resulting levels are described using a simple model Hamiltonian and the parameters in this model...
