Abstract. Emission orders of light charged particles and Li fragments from highly excited fissioning nuclei in the reaction of ⁴⁰Ar+¹⁹⁷Au at E_beam/A=25 MeV have been studied by measuring difference velocity distributions of two correlated particles at small relative angles in coincidence with two fission fragments. By comparing the data with three-body trajectory calculations, we found that high velocity deuterons are emitted prior to high velocity Li fragments but low velocity deuterons are emitted after low velocity Li fragments. On the other hand, no preferential emission was observed among light particles, such as protons and deuterons. Furthermore, the emission orders are found to depend only weakly on the mass asymmetry of fission fragments.
