The notion of dispersion, a measure of denseness of sequences, plays an important role in quasi-Monte Carlo optimization. In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the dispersion of an important low dispersion sequence, namely the Hammersley Sequence in the unit square. The dispersiondMof theM points of this sequence, whereM=2N withN a positive integer is given by $$d_M = \frac{{\sqrt {2M - 2\sqrt M + 1} }}{M},if N is even, d_M = \frac{{\sqrt {\left( {5/2} \right)M - \sqrt {8M} + 1} }}{M},if N is odd.$$ .
