Abstract
⺠Cassini UVIS occultations show clumping in Saturn's F ring and at the B ring edge. ⺠This indicates aggregation and disaggregation triggered by Prometheus and Mimas. ⺠A simple model reproduces the phase lag of the clumps. ⺠Rare events that cause the aggregates to accrete can recycle ring material.
