Interplay between sequential and prompt two-proton decay from the first excited state of ¹⁶Ne

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁹Be(¹⁷Ne, ¹⁶Ne), E=57.6 MeV/nucleon; analyzed results of experimental measurements reported in their 2014Br19 work carried out at NSCL-MSU. ¹⁶Ne; analyzed relative energy spectra and few-body correlations of ¹⁴O+2p and ¹³N+3p events; deduced level energies and widths of g.s. and first 2+ state from kinematic analysis of ¹⁴O+p+p events, and those of higher levels from analysis of the ¹³N+p+p+p events. Sequential and diprotonlike decays deduced from correlation pattern reproduced in three-body ¹⁴O+p+p calculations. ¹⁵F, ¹⁴O, ¹³N; deduced levels, J, π from particle decays of states in ¹⁶Ne.
