Resumen:
In the present paper we investigate the exact average number of attempts until saturation when a square lattice is ceaselessly bombarded with -bell (1) particles, i.e., linear particles that require consecutive lattice sites to be adsorbed. When that average number is normalized with the corresponding single-particle average, a scale invariant behavior is revealed with a scaling exponent =0.017±0.001, independent of (>1). The scale behavior is suggested by the branching characteristics governing the sequential random adsorption of -bell (>1) particles, which is indeed a consequence of configurational correlations.
