Abstract
Three-body correlations in the dissociation of two-neutron halo nuclei are explored using a technique based on intensity interferometry and Dalitz plots. This approach provides for the combined treatment of both the and core- interactions in the exit channel. As an example, the breakup of into by Pb and C targets has been analyzed and the halo separation extracted. Evidence for a finite delay between the emission of the neutrons in the reaction on the C target was observed and is attributed to resonances populated in sequential breakup.
