Résumé

We consider a continuum percolation model on $\R^d$, where $d\geq 4$. The occupied set is given by the union of independent Wiener sausages with radius $r$ running up to time $t$ and whose initial points are distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson point process. It was established in a previous work by Erhard, Mart\'{i}nez and Poisat~\cite{EMP13} that (1) if $r$ is small enough there is a non-trivial percolation transition in $t$ occuring at a critical time $t_c(r)$ and (2) in the supercritical regime the unbounded cluster is unique. In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the critical time when the radius $r$ converges to $0$. The latter does not seem to be deducible from simple scaling arguments. We prove that for $d\geq 4$, there is a positive constant $c$ such that $c^{-1}\sqrt{\log(1/r)}\leq t_c(r)\leq c\sqrt{\log(1/r)}$ when $d=4$ and $c^{-1}r^{(4-d)/2}\leq t_c(r) \leq c\ r^{(4-d)/2}$ when $d\geq 5$, as $r$ converges to $0$. We derive along the way moment estimates on the capacity of Wiener sausages, which may be of independent interest.
