Abstract
Experimental data from the reaction of an [Formula Presented] beam incident on a [Formula Presented] target have been analyzed in order to investigate the breakup time scale for hot residues. Helium nuclei angular distributions and energy spectra supported by a momentum tensor analysis suggest that at large excitation energy, above [Formula Presented] highly excited heavy fragments are separated promptly after the thermalization. A binary fission-like mechanism fits the experimental data at low excitation energies, but seems unable to reproduce the data at excitation energies above [Formula Presented].
