Abstract

The set covariance of a dead leaves model, constructed from hard spheres of constant diameter, is calculated analytically. The calculation is based on the covariance of a single sphere and on the pair correlation function of the centres of the spheres. There exist applications in the field of random sequential adsorption and in the interpretation of small-angle scattering experiments.
