Abstract

The sidebranches of xenon dendrites growing into supercooled melt have been investigated. The sidebranches grow on top of the fins of the dendrite. First measurements of the spatial evolution of the sidebranches have been performed. The maximal amplitude w of the sidebranches has been measured as a function of their position lp at the fin. It has been found w ~ lp1.72 independent of the supercooling. No decrease of the amplitude for large lp has been observed.
