  We study a model of interacting vector and Kalb-Ramond gauge fields in a
non-trivial Higgs vacuum generated by a charged and a neutral scalar field. The
system admits different vacua for different v.e.v. of the two Higgs fields. Our
primary interest in this paper regards the "mixed phase" where both the photon
and the Kalb-Ramond acquire a mass. In this phase we compute the interaction
potential energy between static test charges. It turns out that the limit in
which the photon becomes massless, while the Kalb-Ramond remains massive, leads
to a Cornell confining potential between test charges.
