Properties of chord length distributions across ordered and disordered packing of hard disks
1CEA-Centre d'Etudes de Saclay, DEN/DM2S/SERMA/LEPP, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France.
Abstract:
Chord length distributions across packings--random or not--of equal hard disks have a universal divergence which is proportional to n(c)/square root of l for small chords, where n(c) is the mean number of contacts. A similar behavior is derived for a population of polydisperse disks. Monte Carlo simulations across various kinds of regular and random packings are in full agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Electric Field of a Charged Disk
The system's symmetry is in the cylindrical directions across the plane of the charge. As a result, the electric fields created by various surface charge elements nullify each other in the direction parallel to the surface. Thereby, the resulting electric field is perpendicular to the plane. Since the disk is...
