Free collisions in a microgravity many-particle experiment. I. Dust aggregate sticking at low velocities

Article ID Journal Published Year Pages File Type

Abstract
► We present a new experimental setup to study collisions of mm-sized dust aggregates. ► We succeeded in determining the threshold between sticking and bouncing collisions. ► We adapted a model to access the physical processes involved in sticking.
