  "abstract": "We numerically calculate the configurational entropy S_conf of a binary mixture of hard spheres, by using a perturbed Hamiltonian method trapping the system inside a given state, which requires less assumptions than the previous methods [R.J. Speedy, Mol. Phys. 95, 169 (1998)]. We find that S_conf is a decreasing function of packing fraction f and extrapolates to zero at the Kauzmann packing fraction f_K = 0.62, suggesting the possibility of an ideal glass-transition for hard spheres system. Finally, the Adam-Gibbs relation is found to hold.",
