Statistical geometry of caging effects in random thin-rod structures

Abstract: A derivation is given for the caging density of a static, random thin-rod structure at which uncorrelated contacts on a rod on average form a cage which arrests sidewise translations. Some implications of this result for colloidal sediments, random packings and rod glasses are discussed.
