Non-Gaussian distribution of regolith particles deposited on tantalum and molybdenum surfaces under gyrotron pulsed radiation

The distribution of regolith simulant particles deposited on the surface of tantalum and molybdenum in microwave discharges induced by gyrotron pulsed radiation is studied. To analyze the deposited particles, an image processing algorithm is developed. It is shown that the particle size distributions are non-Gaussian with heavy power-law tails and flat tops. These properties are also characteristics of the lunar regolith. © 2021 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
