Abstract

Three-body correlations for the ground-state decay of the lightest two-proton emitter ${}^{6}{Be}$ are studied both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical studies are performed in a three-body hyperspherical-harmonics cluster model. In the experimental studies, the ground state of ${}^{6}{Be}$ was formed following the $α$ decay of a ${}^{10}C$ beam inelastically excited through interactions with Be and C targets. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment is obtained demonstrating the existence of complicated correlation patterns that can elucidate the structure of ${}^{6}{Be}$ and, possibly, of the $A = 6$ isobars.
