Description

We report on the status of the analysis of the static potential in 2+1+1-flavor QCD. The static potential is obtained by measuring Wilson loops using the HISQ action, yielding the scales $r_{1}/a$, $r_{2}/a$, and the string tension $\sigma$. We put our emphasis on the possible effects due to the dynamic charm quark by comparing the lattice results to continuum results of the static potential with and without a massive flavor at two loops.
