The probabilities for the number of intersections in the Buffon-Laplace needle problem in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$

Uwe Bäsel

In 1974, Stoka solved Buffon's needle problem in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, $d\ge 2$, i.e. he found a closed form solution for the probability that a line segment ("needle") with length $\el…
