A fast algorithm for random sequential adsorption of discs

Abstract

An efficient algorithm for random sequential adsorption of hard discs in two dimensions is implemented. A precise value for the coverage is obtained: theta(infty) = 0.547069. The asymptotic law theta(t) = theta(infty) - ct^{-1/2} is verified to a high accuracy. Pair correlation function is analyzed.
