Both small- and large-angle IMF-IMF correlations have been investigated for the multifragmentation events from the 4.8 GeV {sup 3}He + {sup 197}Au reaction. Relative velocities are found to depend on fragment charge, but to be only weakly sensitive to IMF multiplicity. The large-angle data are compared with predictions of simulations based on sequential statistical evaporation, an expanding evaporating source and statistical multifragmentation models. The Coulomb hole in the small angle correlations is examined to estimate the multifragmentation time scale.
