Description

Correlations between two protons at small relative momenta are presented for 16O-induced reactions on 12C and 27Al at 400 MeV. These data are well described by a statistical calculation which incorporates the thermal emission of the particle-unstable nucleus, 2He, from the compound nucleus. The good agreement suggests that the emission of particle-unstable light nuclei can be an important decay channel for highly excited nuclear systems, and can strongly influence two-particle correlations
