Abstract
We study the statistics of the linear flow in a punctured
honeycomb lattice, or equivalently the free motion of a particle
on a regular hexagonal billiard table, with holes of equal size at
the corners, obeying the customary reflection rules. In the small-scatterer limit we prove the
existence of the limiting distribution of the free path length with randomly chosen origin of
the trajectory, and explicitly compute it.
