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
