Are there any estimates as to the (median) mass and (Cassini-relative) linear velocity of said particles?

Also, while I assume the _angular_ velocity of 'ring particles' varies inversely with their orbital radii - I am curious as to the manifestation and nature of other ring-to-ring (particulate) dissimilarities (if any)?

Thank you! :-)
