Abstract

We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations to study the mass size distribution of a two-dimensional fragmentation process. Our model consists of a large number of particles interacting through the Lennard-Jones potential. The fragmentation is induced by suddenly imposing a radial component on the particles' velocities, in order to mimic an explosion phenomenon. We then investigate the effect of the input energy on the resulting mass distribution of fragments.
