Description

We analyse the Monte Carlo lattice data for the heavy-quark potentials in the SU(3) gluon plasma and find out that nonperturbative effects are very different for singlet and octet Qanti Q colour channels. The data are analysed within a plasma model, where low-momentum gluons are converted into colourless modes and consequently are absent in the spectrum of deconfined gluons. (orig.)
