Samenvatting

We have done N-body simulations with N up to 106, with the aim to determine whether fluctuations in the force field of a globular cluster are caused by nearby or distant encounters. We find that distant encounters are insignificant, in agreement with Chandrasekhar's expectations, contrary to general opinion.
