摘要
Background: While diproton emission was first theorized in 1960 and first measured in 2002, it was first observed only in 2012. The measurement of Be-14 in coincidence with two neutrons suggests that Be-16 does decay through the simultaneous emission of two strongly correlated neutrons. Purpose: In this work, we construct a full three-body model of Be-16 (as Be-14 + n + n) in order to investigate its configuration in the continuum and, in particular, the structure of its ground state. Method: In order to describe the three-body system, effective n-Be-14 potentials were constructed, constrained by the experimental information on Be-15. The hyperspherical R-matrix method was used to solve the three-body scattering problem, and the resonance energy of Be-16 was extracted from a phase-shift analysis. Results: In order to reproduce the experimental resonance energy of Be-16 within this three-body model, a three-body interaction was needed. For extracting the width of the ground state of Be-16, we use the full width at half maximum of the derivative of the three-body eigenphase shifts and the width of the three-body elastic scattering cross section. Conclusions: Our results confirm a dineutron structure for Be-16, dependent on the internal structure of the subsystem Be-15.
