End-to-end distribution function for dilute polymers

Abstract

We study the end-to-end distribution function for dilute polymers. We present a computation to order O(ϵ2)O(\epsilon^2), ϵ=4d\epsilon = 4 - d, and discuss in detail its asymptotic behaviour for small and large distances. The theoretical predictions are compared with Monte Carlo results, finding good agreement.
