Area covered by disks in small-bounded continuum percolating systems: An application to the string percolation model

Abstract

In string percolation model, the study of colliding systems at high energies is based on a continuum percolation theory in two dimensions where the number of strings distributed in the surface of interest is strongly determined by the size and the energy of the colliding particles. It is also expected that the surface where the disks are lying be finite, defining a system without periodic boundary conditions. In this work, we report modifications to the fraction of the area covered by disks in continuum percolating systems due to a finite number of disks and bounded by different geometries: circle, ellipse, triangle, square and pentagon, which correspond to the first Fourier modes of the shape fluctuation of the initial state after the particle collision. We find that the deviation of the fraction of area covered by disks from its corresponding value in the thermodynamic limit satisfies a universal behavior, where the free parameters depend on the density profile, number of disks and the shape of the boundary. Consequently, it is also found that the color suppression factor of the string percolation model is modified by a damping function related to the small-bounded effects. Corrections to the temperature and the speed of sound defined in string systems are also shown for small and elliptically bounded systems.
