Universality in the jamming limit for elongated hard particles in one dimension

We study the thermodynamics properties of a one-dimensional gas of hard elongated particles. The particle centers are restricted to a line, while they can rotate in a two-dimensional space. Correlations between orientations of the objects are studied (by the transfer matrix method) as a function of...
