Abstract

We provide an explicit construction of the thermodynamic jamming limit for the parking process and other finite range exclusion schemes on \({\mathbb Z}^{d}\). By means thereof, a strong law of large numbers for occupation densities is accomplished, and, amongst other results, the so called “super-exponential” (i.e. gamma) decay of pair correlation functions is established.
