Two-proton Decays from Light to Heavy Nuclei: Comparison of Theory and Experiment

Paper i proceeding, 2009

Recently the complete three-body correlation pictures were, for the first time, experimentally reconstructed for the two-proton decays of the 6Be and 45Fe ground states. We are able to see qualitative similarities and differences between these decays. They demonstrate very good agreement with the predictions of a theoretical three-body cluster model.
