Description

We study the confining flux tube between two static color sources and its scaling towards the continuum limit in Nf=2+1 QCD at the physical point. To this aim, we discretize the theory with the tree level Symanzik gauge action and stout-smearing improved staggered quarks. We discuss the effect of a uniform external magnetic field on the flux tube and we show, in particular, that it displays anisotropies with respect to the magnetic field direction.
