N-body simulations show gas drag prevents efficient outward scattering of CM-like planetesimals beyond 15 au during Saturn's growth, yielding at most 0.02-0.04 Earth masses of CM material in the outer ring and negligible CI contamination.

Shaken, not stirred: inefficient mixing of CM- and CI-like materials
N-body simulations show gas drag prevents efficient outward scattering of CM-like planetesimals beyond 15 au during Saturn's growth, yielding at most 0.02-0.04 Earth masses of CM material in the outer ring and negligible CI contamination.
