  The occultation of background stellar sources by foreground Kuiper Belt
Objects (KBOs) can be used to survey physical properties of the KBO population.
We discuss statistics related to a KBO occultation survey, such as the event
duration distribution, and suggest that occultation searches can be effectively
used to probe the KBO size distribution below 10 km. In particular, we suggest
that occultation surveys may be best suited to search for a turnover radius in
the KBO size distribution due to collisions between small-size objects. For
occultation surveys that monitor stellar sources near the ecliptic over a few
square degrees, with time sampling intervals of order 0.1 sec and sensitivity
to flux variations of a few percent or more, a turnover radius between 0.1 and
1.0 km can be probed. While occultation surveys will probe the low-radius limit
and imaging surveys will detect KBOs of size 100 km or more, statistics of
objects with sizes in the intermediate range of around 1 km to 100 km will
likely remain unattainable.
