  We investigate the dual superconductor mechanism of confinement for pure
SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the maximally abelian gauge. We focus on the the
dual Meissner effect. We find that the transverse distribution of the
longitudinal chromoelectric field due to a static quark-antiquark pair
satisfies the dual London equation. Moreover we show that the size of the flux
tube scales according to asymptotic freedom.
