Description

We study the static three-quark potential in SU(3) lattice gauge theory at zero temperature with the Polyakov loop correlation function (PLCF) consisting of three Polyakov loops. Compared to the use of the three-quark Wilson loop, the PLCF allows us to investigate the ground state potential of various three-quark configurations in detail with less systematic effects. We overcome the problem of the statistical errors by employing the multi-level algorithm and obtain remarkably clean signals. We present these results and discuss the possible shape of the confining string for the three-quark system.
