Abstract

We have studied plasma oscillations in a flux tube created in a dual superconductor. Starting from a static flux tube configuration, with electric charges at either end, we release a fluid of electric charges in the system that accelerate and screen the electric field. The weakening of the electric field allows the flux tube to collapse, and the inertia of the charges forces it open again. We find strong radiation of electric flux into the superconductor in all regimes of couplings.
