Motivated by a statistical application, the authors consider continuum percolation in two or more dimensions, restricted to a large finite box, when above the critical point. They derive surface order large deviation estimates for the volume of the largest cluster and for its intersection with the boundary of the box. The authors also give some natural extensions to known, analogous results on lattice percolation.
