Abstract
Proton-proton correlations were observed for the two-proton decays of the ground states of 19Mg
and 16Ne. The trajectories of the respective decay products, 17Ne+p+p and 14O+p+p, were mea-
sured by using a tracking technique with microstrip detectors. These data were used to reconstruct
the angular correlations of fragments projected on planes transverse to the precursor momenta.
The measured three-particle correlations reflect a genuine three-body decay mechanism and allowed
us to obtain spectroscopic information on the precursors with valence protons in the sd shell
