Abstract Atomic numbers and masses have been identified for the fragments (12〈Z〈52 and 25 〈 A 〈 55) produced in the reaction40Ar (217 MeV) +197Au. Even for such a large mass asymmetry in the entrance channel it is shown how difficult it is, for some part of the cross section, to distinguish between a classical deep inelastic phenomenon and the formation of a true compound nucleus followed by symmetric fission. The two reaction mechanisms are then studied separately in a critical way comparing with existing models.
