A radio-frequency discharge in a N2-CH4 gaseous mixture is used to reproduce Titan's aerosols. To understand the dust growth mechanisms, the effect of different parameters on their size is studied. It is shown that the tholins are bigger for a large amount of methane and for a lower gas flow in the plasma. The evolution of tholins' size with plasma duration is also presente
