Abstract: Particle-particle correlation function and emission time of light particles detected in coincidence with fission fragments have been measured for the 40Ar+197Au collisions at E/A=25MeV. A mean emission time of 200-300fm/c suggests that the prescission emission of light particles dominates. The emission time changes slightly for particles of in-plane emission and out-of-plane emission, but varies dramatically with the energy of particles. It decreases from about 300fm/c for mid-rapidity particles to about 30-100fm/c for projectile-like particles.
