Title: Line processes and particle systems
 
Abstract: Particles moving with constant velocities through space generate straight lines in a space-time diagram. In this way, any random collection of non-interacting particles in $R^d$ is equivalent to a line process in $R^{d+1}$, and either description illuminates the other. In this talk, I will focus on the long-term behavior of stationary particle systems, and related criteria for a stationary line process in space to be mixed Poisson.
