Mean fragment spacing \(\langle \Delta z \rangle\) as a function of \(r_0\) for fixed \(Z_{\max} = 3.2\,\text{pc}\) and the seeds \(3\), \(5\), \(7\), \(18\), \(21\) and \(77\). The blue points indicate the measured mean fragment spacing, while the error bars denote the standard deviation of the individual fragment spacings within the corresponding simulation. The gray dashed line marks the analytically expected dependence \(\lambda_{\text{frag}}(r_0)\).
