We present here results on the fine structure of the static q\bar q potentialin d=4 SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. The potential is obtained from Polyakov loopcorrelators having separations between 0.3 and 1.2 fermi. Measurements werecarried out on lattices of spatial extents of about 4 and 5.4 fermi. Thetemporal extent was 5.4 fermi in both cases. The results are analyzed in termsof the force between a q\bar q pair as well as in terms of a scaled secondderivative of the potential. The data is accurate enough to distinguish betweendifferent effective string models and it seems to favour the expression forground state energy of a Nambu-Goto string.Comment: 9 pages in LaTeX with 2 figures and 2 tables in JHEP style.
