(1-DIMENSIONAL QCD WITH STATIC QUARKS AS SUPERSYMMETRIC QUANTUM-MECHANICS - ART. NO. 027701(1))

We reexamine the solvable model problem of two static, fundamental qua rks interacting with an SU(2) Yang-Mills field on a spatial circle, in troduced by Engelhardt and Schreiber. If the quarks are at the same po int, the model exhibits a quantum mechanical supersymmetry. At finite separation, the supersymmetry is explicitly broken in a way which natu rally explains the geometrical nature of spectrum and state vectors of this system. [S0556-2821(98)00316-6].
