Casimir scaling ofSU(3)static potentials

Potentials between static color sources in eight different representations are computed in four dimensional $\mathrm{SU}\left(3\right)\mathrm{}$ gauge theory. The simulations have been performed with the Wilson action on anisotropic lattices where the renormalized anisotropies have been determined nonperturbatively. After an extrapolation to the continuum limit we are able to exclude any violations of the Casimir scaling hypothesis that exceed 5% for source separations of up to 1 fm.
