Intermediate mass fragment (IMF: 3{le}{ital Z}{le}20) emission for the {sup 36}Ar+{sup 197}Au reaction at {ital E}/{ital A}=35 MeV has been studied with a low-threshold 4{pi} charged-particle detector array covering the angular range of 16{degree}{le}{theta}{sub lab}{le}160{degree}. While most IMF's are emitted in central collisions characterized by large charged-particle multiplicities, contributions from peripheral collisions exist at forward angles which are reminiscent of damped collisions or emission from a projectile-like source. Energy spectra, angular distributions, element distributions, and two-fragment correlation functions are presented for various gates on the charged-particle multiplicity, and the time scale of fragment emission is deduced.
