One-dimensional gas of hard needles

We study a one-dimensional gas of needlelike objects as a testing ground for a formalism that relates the thermodynamic properties of "hard" potentials to the probabilities for contacts between particles. Specifically, we use Monte Carlo methods to calculate the pressure and elasticity coe...
