Abstract
The particle decay of the ground state of was observed following population in the reaction. The particle decay spectrum corresponds to the ordinary three body phase space shape for energies above about 100 keV in the center-of-mass system. At lower energies the relative yield exceeds the available phase space. It is shown that neither the phase space spectrum modified by the proton-proton final state interaction nor the spectrum corresponding to sequential decay through the ground state have shapes consistent with the data. The enhanced yield of low energy particles is not accounted for by either process.
