Abstract

The equation of state and the collision rate for systems ranging in size from four to 500 particles are described. The dependence of the results on the number of particles is qualitatively discussed and in this way insight is gained as to what is required of more accurate analytical theories. By comparing the results to various analytical theories now available their region of validity is established. The number of particles necessary at various densities to obtain a quantitative description of the equilibrium properties is delineated. Whether a first-order phase transition exists for hard spheres remains open until larger systems are investigated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
