= Radial volume transform of a homogeneous Poisson point process

For a homogeneous Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda$ in $\mathbb R^d$, mapping $x$ to $v_d|x|^d$, where $v_d$ is the unit-ball volume, gives a rate-$\lambda$ Poisson process on $[0,\infty)$. Mapping to $|x|^d$ instead gives rate $\lambda v_d$.
