Scientific paper

An analytical solution is obtained for the steady-state size distribution of a self-similar collisional fragmentation cascade. The solution yields a power law for the differential mass distribution with an exponent very close to 11/6, which is consistent with the earlier conclusion of Dohnanyi (1969). The work of Dohnanyi is extended to include a full treatment of the simultaneous occurrence of cratering and catastrophic fragmentation.
