Abstract
We present results for the confinement-deconfinement interface tension sigma(cd) of quenched QCD. They were obtained by applying Binder's hi stogram method to lattices of size L2 x L(z) x L(t) for L(t) = 2 and L = 8,10,12 and 14 and various L(z) is-an-element-of [L, 4 L]. The use of a multicanonical algorithm and rectangular geometries has turned ou t to be crucial for the numerical studies. We also give an estimate fo r sigma(cd) at L(t) = 4 using published data.
