  The deexcitation of the primary hot fragments, produced in the breakup of an
excited nuclear source, during their propagation under the influence of their
mutual Coulomb repulsion is studied in the framework of a recently developed
hybrid model. The latter is based on the Statistical Mul- tifragmentation Model
(SMM), describing the prompt breakup of the source, whereas the particle
emission from the hot fragments, that decay while traveling away from each
other, is treated by the Weisskopf-Ewing evaporation model. Since this
treatment provides an event by event descrip- tion of the process, in which the
classical trajectories of the fragments are followed using molecular dynamics
techniques, it allows one to study observables such as two-particle
correlations and infer the extent to which the corresponding observables may
provide information on the multifragment production mechanisms. Our results
suggest that the framework on which these treatments are based may be
considerably constrained by such analyses. Furthermore, they imply that
information obtained from these model calculations may provide feedback to the
theory of nuclear interferome- try. We also found that neutron deficient
fragments should hold information more closely related to the breakup region
than neutron rich ones, as they are produced in much earlier stages of the post
breakup dynamics than the latter.
