Abstract

An expression for the exact (beyond perturbation theory) effective action in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories where all particles, with the exception of gauge bosons, are massive is proposed. By analyzing the form of this expression, it is shown that, in supersymmetric theories, instanton effects can lead to quark confinement. On the basis of first principles, the characteristic scale of confinement is calculated within MSSM QCD, and the result is found to be consistent with experimental data. The proposed explanation differs drastically with the dual Higgs mechanism.
