Abstract: Delone sets are discrete point sets

X

in

m a t h b b R^{d}

characterized by parameters

(r, R)

, where (usually)

2 r

is the smallest inter-point distance of

X

, and

R

is the radius of a largest ``empty ball" that can be inserted into the interstices of

X

. The regularity radius

h a t {h o}_{d}

is defined as the smallest positive number

h o

such that each Delone set with congruent clusters of radius

h o

is a regular system, that is, a point orbit under a crystallographic group. We discuss two conjectures on the growth behavior of the regularity radius. Our ``Weak Conjecture" states that

h a t {h o}_{d} = m O (d^{2} l o g d) R

as

d i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

, independent of~

r

. This is verified in the paper for two important subfamilies of Delone sets: those with full-dimensional clusters of radius

2 r

and those with full-dimensional sets of

d

-reachable points. We also offer support for the plausibility of a ``Strong Conjecture", stating that

h a t {h o}_{d} = m O (d l o g d) R

as

d i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

, independent of

r

.
