Evidence is presented for the formation of a long-lived rotating dinuclear complex in the early stages of the collision between light heavy nuclei. A study of the variation of the total kinetic energy of the outgoing fragments with bombarding energy allows a determination of the average dinuclear separation prior to scission. At higher bombarding energies the study reveals that the system of the two colliding nuclei has reached a critical value of angular momentum beyond which it can not be trapped into an orbiting configuration.
