Scientific paper

It is pointed out that the formation of H2 molecules on grains in
interstellar clouds occurs nonuniformly, leading to pressure
instabilities and cloud fragmentation. The frequency distribution of the
fragment masses is calculated and found to be in good agreement with the
Salpeter Initial Mass Function.
