  In this work we calculate the static limit of the energy for a
quark-antiquark pair from the Nambu-Goto action using a holographic approach
with a deformed AdS space, with warp factor $\exp\{(\kappa z)^n/n\}$.
  From this energy we derive the Cornell potential for the quark-antiquark
interaction. We also find a range of values for our parameters which fits
exactly the Cornell potential parameters. In particular, setting the zero
energy of the Cornell potential at 0.33 fermi, we find that $\kappa=0.56$ GeV
and $n=1.3$.
