Chemical potential
For chemical potential, U1 - U0 is the energy of turning on the ghost particle
- call this ut, the “test-particle” energy

- test-particle position may be selected at random in simulation volume
- for hard spheres, e-but is 0 for overlap, 1 otherwise
then (as before) average is the fraction of configurations with no overlap
This is known as Widom’s insertion method
