DESCRIPTION:DNA can be found in confined geometries in different situation
 s: for examples in viruses\, in the chromosome or in artificial structures
  like in microfluidic devices. It is therefore interesting to study the st
 atistical properties of the DNA depending on its length\, concentration an
 d topology. We present here data on circular DNA deposited in 2 dimensions
  with different concentration up to the overlap concentration c* and study
  also the effect of the length of the circular DNA. We characterize the st
 atistical properties by determining the end-to-end distance as a function 
 of the contour length\, the directional correlation function\, the area co
 vered by the plasmids\, the shape parameters like the sphericity as a func
 tion of the concentration.\n
