Abstract

Data from violent collisions between heavy (A 100) beams and targets of comparable mass are reviewed. The deep-inelastic mechanism dominates up to 20 MeV/u, although some departures are already noticed. Above 20 MeV/u, some data have been interpreted in the frame of a participantspectator model, but taking in account mean field effects which are still important. At 35 and 44 MeV/u, such mechanisms allow to reach temperatures where the multifragmentation becomes possible.
