Exponential improvements in Rado's covering problem

Let $B^d$ denote the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball of unit radius. What is the largest constant $f(B^d) \in [0,1]$ with the property that every finite collection $\mathcal{C}$ of unit balls in $\mathbb{R}^d$ admits a disjoint sub-collection $\mathcal{S}$ occupying at least a fraction $f(B^d)$ of the volume of $\mathca...
