Three-particle decays of light nuclei resonances

Abstract

We have studied the three-particle decay of 12C, 9Be and 6Be resonances. These nuclei have been described as three-body systems by means of the complex scaled hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method. The short-distance part of the wave-function is responsible for the energies whereas the information related to the observable decay properties is contained at large distances, which must be computed accurately. As an illustration we show the results for the angular distribution of 9Be and 6Be resonances.
