Abstract

Highlights: [•] We analyzed the particle size distribution (PSD) ejected material from dry and wet hypervelocity impact experiments. [•] Power law fits are well suited to quantify the obtained PSDs. [•] Impact velocity and impact energy seem to have no effects on the fragmentation. [•] Water saturation has a positive effect on fragmentation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
