dc.description.abstractIt has been long thought that the rings of saturn are probably not thicker than a few hundreds of meters. By actually following the motion of particles inside the decaying bending waves of the Saturn's rings and matching the resulting damping length of the bending waves launched by a number of moons with the actual damping lengths observed by Voyagar-II, we show that the thickness of the rings need not be larger than a few meters at the most. We present a few of these results.en
