The CMFD of fragments produced by the three disruptive impact experiments. The data points show the cumulative number of fragments with normalized mass ≥ MF/MT. The dashed lines show the best-fit power-law curve (Equation (2)) for the corresponding data points of the same color. The legend gives the best-fit power-law exponent a for each curve.
