Abstract
Use is made of an equivalence between the calculation of triplet correlation functions and a molecular problem. The molecular problem is then tackled within the framework of the reference interaction site model. As a result, an integral equation for an angular average of the triplet correlation function is obtained. This equation is then analytically solved for a hard sphere fluid. A closed form expression for the result in the case in which two of the atoms in the triplet are in contact is given. The theory is compared with computer experiments and it is shown to be a significant improvement over the superposition approximation at high densities.
