The eighth virial coefficient of four- and five-dimensional hard hyperspheres.
The eighth virial coefficient for hard hyperspheres is calculated by Monte Carlo techniques. It is found that B8/B(7)2=0.000 274+/-0.000 014 and -0.000 115+/-0.000 012 in four and five dimensions, respectively. The results are in good agreement with the findings of Clisby and McCoy (e-print arXiv:cond-mat0410511), and confirm that B8 is negative in five dimensions.
