Abstract
Intermediate-mass fragments (IMF) from the reaction Bi-209+Xe-136 at E (lab)/A=28 MeV have been measured in coincidence with other charged re action products, as well as with neutrons. The IMF emission patterns a re seen to exhibit signatures of two mechanisms - statistical emission from the fully accelerated massive reaction partners and a fast dynam ical emission from a single effective source. The latter mechanism, po ssibly involving a multiple neck rupture, becomes dominating for least dissipative collisions characterized by low associated light particle multiplicities.
