title: Continuum percolation of isotropically oriented circular cylinders.
abstract: The continuum percolation of circular cylinders has been studied for various values of the aspect ratio b;{'} . The percolation threshold is shown to have a maximum for b;{'} approximately 2 when the cylinder length is equal to its diameter. Other quantities such as the average intersection volume and the porosity also possess a maximum for this value.
