Ames National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), operated by and located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
For more than 70 years, the Ames National Laboratory has successfully partnered with Iowa State University, and is unique among the 17 DOE laboratories in that it is physically located on the campus of a major research university. Many of the scientists and administrators at the Laboratory also hold faculty positions at the University and the Laboratory has access to both undergraduate and graduate student talent.

Abstract
We consider the irreversible random sequential adsorption of particles taking ksites at a time, on a one‐dimensional lattice. We present an exact expansion for the coverage, θ(t,k)=A0(t)+A1(t)k−1+A2(t)k−2+..., for times, 0≤t≤O(k), and at saturation t=∞. The former is new and the latter extends Mackenzie’s results [J. Chem. Phys. 37, 723 (1962)]. For these expansions, we note that the coefficients Ai≥1(∞) are not obtained as large‐t limits of the Ai≥1(t). Finally, we comment on the Laurent expansions for general O(k)<t<∞, which reveal the occurrence of additional kn terms, with n≳0.
