We project the SU(3) valued links to the U(1)xU(1) subgroup, and extract U(1)xU(1) and monopole string tensions. After gauge fixing to the indirect center gauge, the U(1)xU(1) links are projected to Z(3) and a vortex string tension is measured. The vortex and magnetic current densities are measured.Lattice2001(confinement), 3 pages, 1 figureHigh Energy Physics - LatticeThe Maximal Abelian Gauge in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theorytext
