CONCERNING THE GEOMETRIC LIMIT OF THE
DENSITY OF A LOOSE MEDIUM MODELED BY
IDENTICAL SPHERICAL PARTICLES

Based on the introduced system of definitions, the 
statistical-geometric property of a random close packing (RCP) of 
identical solid spheres (SS) is found that determines the geometric 
limit of the packing density. The results of calculations using computer 
models of SS packings show that the magnitude of the geometric limit 
virtually coincides with a real limiting density of the RCP of SS.
