Abstract
We investigate the dual superconductor mechanism of confinement for pu re SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the maximally Abelian gauge. We focus on the dual Meissner effect. We find that the transverse distribution of the longitudinal chromoelectric field due to a static quark-antiqu ark pair satisfies the dual London equation. Moreover we show that the size of the flux tube scales according to asymptotic freedom.
