Fragment emission depends strongly on the angular momentum of the emitting system. To explore the systematic behavior of rotational effects in central collisions, we have studied several systems over a large range of bombarding energies. The systems investigated include {sup 14}N+ {sup 197}Au at E/A = 100-156 MeV, {sup 36}Ar+{sup 197}Au at E/A = 35-110 MeV, and {sup 84}Kr+{sup 197}Au at E/A = 35-70 MeV. To probe for evidence of rotation in central collisions (b/b{sub max}< 0.2), we have examined azimuthal correlation functions for fragments (4 < Z < 9). Predictions of a rotating source model are used to deduce the magnitude of rotational effects which persist for central collisions.
