banded crater question

A banded crater is a crater with alternating stripes of light and dark material running around its walls (like Aristarchus under high lighting conditions) giving a spoke wheel appearance. There are probably a couple of hundred craters showing at least a hint of this on the moon.
Does anyone know if this banding has been reproduced when impact craters are created experimentally? I am interested in how the bands are created... maybe in some cases by the impact itself and in other cases by subsequent landslides??
