Outcome of the dust collision simulation with 11.5 ms-1 (top) and 12.5 ms-1 (bottom) at a time, t = 0.8 s. The collision with 11.5 ms-1 results in the growth of the target but also a large chunk does break off such that pure sticking does not occur. The situation is adequately mapped with the appearance of a second largest fragment. For 12.5 ms-1 the target breaks apart and the power-law population becomes as significant as the largest fragment. The transition from sticking to fragmentation occurs in between the presented collision velocities.
