- It of course depends upon which lattice you're using. One direction
- might be to look at the kissing number for unit balls centered on
- a particular lattice, and guesstimate it that way. A good reference
- to the subject of sphere packing is J.H. Conway and N.J.A. Sloane's
- chapter on "Codes, Groups and Sphere Packing" in a book which has
- a very similar title to that chapter, and which they edited.
