Description

In a recent experimental study [Gomez del Campo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 26, 43 (2001)] of the reaction 17F(p,2p)16O two-proton events were measured from excitations near a 1-, E*=6.15 MeV state in 18Ne. We calculate the resonant two-proton production cross section and branching ratios by means of R-matrix theory. We conclude that it is unlikely that two-proton production via population of the 1- state is sufficient to explain the observed two-proton events. Alternative sources of such events are discussed
