Revisiting the Scaling Analysis of Irreversible Aggregation Dynamics — •Jürgen Vollmer — Max Planck Insitute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, 37077 Göttingen, Germany

The analysis of the size distribution of droplets condensing on a substrate is a test ground for scaling theories. Surprisingly, a faithful description of its evolution must explicitly address microscopic nucleation and growth mechanisms of the droplets [1]. In view of this we discuss how this breaking of universality relates to other systems with vastly polydisperse droplet size distributions, like the growth of droplets in clouds.
