Abstract
Recent accurate lattice measurements of static potentials between sources in various representations of the gauge group SU(3) performed by Bali, provide a crucial test of different QCD vacuum models. The Casimir scaling of the potential observed for all measured distances can be explained as being due to strong suppression of higher cumulants contribution.Keywords
