Two-fragment (Be-Be, B-B, and C-C) correlation functions were measured at small relative momenta for noncompound fragment emission in {sup 36}Ar+{sup 197}Au collisions at {ital E}/{ital A}=35 MeV. Interpretation of the experimental correlation functions in terms of final-state Coulomb-interaction models indicate average fragment-emission times of about 100--200 fm/{ital c}.
