Abstract
In the confining phase of any gauge system the mean squared width of t he colour flux tube joining a pair of quarks should grow logarithmical ly as a function of their distance, according to the effective string description of its infrared properties. New data on 3D Z(2) gauge theo ry, combined with high precision data on the interface physics of the 3D Ising model, nicely fit this behaviour over a range of more than tw o orders of magnitude.
