Correlations between the energy and the deflection angle of the projectile -like fragments were studied for the Xe-136 + Bi-209 reaction at E/A = 28 and 62 MeV. Experimental correlations were compared with model calculations performed by QMD code, including only one-body and both one and two-body dissipations only in the latter case an agreement with experimental data was obtained. It is shown that at a bombarding energy of 62 MeV/nucleon, the reaction cross section is still dominated by dissipative binary reactions involving the survival of well-defined projectile- and target-like fragments.
